[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 389914, member: 1514"] I love being a grandma. Keyana (the oldest who lives here in town) stays here every other weekend and as often as we can get her other times. She was here this weekend. I also take her to dance classes every Monday. She started Pre-K in the local elementary school this year...sigh. She is so grown up now. She is her Daddy's baby, Papa's Princess and Grandma's girly girl. Jamie got out of the Marines by dumb luck...lol. He was due to leave for overseas in Nov 08. His 4 year tour had been up in Feb 07 but they recalled him and because of his time with the 4 year inactive duty, he had about 18 months to work with from when they set his leave date of Nov 08. Well, it just so happens that I got very sick with the meningitis on Oct 25, 08. He was down here saying goodbye to family and friends before leaving and when I got so sick, the hospital gave me between a 10-15 % chance of recovering and if I did, I was expected to be in the hospital or rehab or need in home care for at least a year. Maybe for quite a long time after that and no one could say how I would be if I even survived. When I woke up, I had no use of my arms or legs and my brain was mush. I was in a coma for almost 2 weeks. Well, the red cross contacted Camp Lejeune and notified the commander who was in charge of Jamies unit. They gave Jamie the option of leaving, staying home with me, getting out with his honorable discharge or signing up for another 4 years. Jamie said...bye, see ya, nice to know ya! LOL. So...getting sick had one good advantage. I got my kid out without going overseas. Good thing to because he had just started a job with less than a year in, bought a house, had a baby a year old. Sheesh. [/QUOTE]
