I just posted this because I really didn't know how to handle this. There are no family members for them. Only one is the blood mother (Grandma to the kids), and she surfaced after abandoning them for over 20 years. No dads in the pic.

I just didn't know what to do... she is going to appear really bad. It will be grotesque. These girls don't know what to do. I told them we need to go asap and once we get there, I'll be able to tell them what to do.

My plans are for them to go in no matter how bad she looks. To my knowledge, it is not certain death. The doc who called yesterday said 50/50. I told daughter, heck, 50/50 is GOOD... I've seen much worse-looking cases come through. Then she told me Grandma said "Which doc did you talk to? It is very bleak." I hope that's the right thing... to take them in. The daughters are going to freak out. I dunno... seems to me, it beats not being there at all. Even being traumatic.

What do I know. I don't even have kids. They just don't have anyone and they're turning to me for some reason.
