I hope I don't get the phone call while I'm on vacation....

We've been dreading this for a while, and thought we were over the worst of it, but it seems it's not so... Of course I may be worrying about nothing, and I hope that's the case. For the last few months, a very dear friend of my husbands family was dieing of cancer. We were very worried that he would pass away while we were on vacation this coming week. He passed away a week ago last Tuesday and the funeral was Monday. My husband was very relieved that it was before we were away and not during. Well, my grandmother has been in and out of the hospital the last couple weeks. About 2 weeks ago they figure she had a heart attack and a stroke - she's going to be 90 in July. My mom is with her now, and for the past week or so she's been in a nursing home, recuperating. Well, my mom just sent out another e-mail that Grandma is back in the hospital. I'me very worried that something will happen while we're on vacation and I wont be able to get home for it. I know there's nothing I can do, but it would be awful if something happened (and I think you all know what I mean by that) and I wasn't able to make it back up here in time. I don't know that my family would be able to put things off until I could get home, but I do have a cousin out of the country and if he wanted to get home I think they'd hold things off for the both of us. Please keep her in your thoughts, we're planning a birthday party for her in July and I would love for her to be there - and coherent - for it.
