Sometimes life gives you lemons, and you need vodka to spike the lemonade

Sunday we leave for Vegas...I think??? This is our annual family vacation to Sin City, which we do with my best friend and her family. But now I don't know, my friend's mom is still in ICU on a ventilator. One positive thing...her white cell count is high, so she is fighting. GO KATI GO! My husband and I don't know if we are supposed to go on our trip or stay home? My friend will not be able to make this decision until close to the time we leave, and even then, I don't know?

This vacation has been on my friend's radar for so long, keeping her going, getting her through all of her daily stress, she needs this, hell we all need this! My kids and her kids want to play in sin city together. I also know that my friend needs me, and if she stays here with her mom, its because she is worried that she may not see her mom again, which means there is a good chance I wil be flying to Vegas, only to turn around and come home for my friend. This SUCKS! We need some intervention here, I have never been a religious person, but right now I don't know what else could help. Her mom is too young to leave us, and she is such an important person in their lives. She takes care of her grandkids while her daughter is at work. The grandkids will be devastated. Her husband will be lost and alone. They had trips planned too, Vegas this week, and Cancun the following. Can I say it again? THIS SUCKS!

Anyone out there who is reading this...what would you do? Go on the trip or reschedule? And if you are reading this, please send good vibes to Kati, she needs them, we all do.
