Mistress father is in the hospital, he had heart surgery yesterday. My mother-in-law is living with us, in our small three room appartment, and brought two dogs with her - their old hunting dog, and our three year-old miniature pincher, who's lived with them since before Christmas. Suddenly our home feels packed with people.
But the pros definitely outweighs the cons - grandma M cooks and cleans, and we've missed our dog a lot. Under happier cirumstances she could stay here indefinitely as far as I'm concerned. But as it is, I hope she can return to her hometown with her husband in a few days, because that would mean he is well enough to be moved.
She didn't come home from the hospital today until well after dinner, past little S's bedtime, and it turned out it was because grandpa J had developed a high fever, and she didn't want to leave him. They've taken tests, and we can only hope it isn't sepsis. I guess they will call from the hospital if it gets really bad, but apart from that, the plan is for her to go back there tomorrow morning, and we'll know more then.
I like my father-in-law. And little S loves him. He's really really important to our whole family, without him all our lifes will change for the worse. This is a scary time.
