I just spoke to my 19 year old nephew (I can NOT believe how time flies- I can remember clearly the first day he was brought home from the hospital!).
He told me that "grandma" was out- shopping, which is a good sign, when I mentioned her strength, he replied that she had enough strength to be bitchin and hollering at him this morning- ALSO A GOOD SIGN!

Now I just hope I have a safe flight thru the hurricane.
