I talked to mom last evening and there is no change in my grandma’s condition. Yesterday morning Uncle Jim was helping grandma when she lost control of herself and was unable to stand to her feet. At that time she had slurred speech and he was unable to understand her.

Mom had to scurry to get all the medical information to Uncle Jim as grandma is allergic to quite a few medications. He then called the ambulance and she was taken to the hospital.

Uncle Jim stayed with grandma all day but she pretty much slept the whole time. During the times she was awake, she didn’t know where she was and thought she was in Winterhaven Florida. When Uncle Jim told her that she was in NC with him, she couldn’t remember how she got there. And much of the time her speech was slurred.

The Dr. did find that she has an infection in her body but they have yet to diagnose her condition. All of her vital signs were great and she did not have a stroke. Uncle Jim says they should have more reports on her condition by Friday. This has happened in the past so we’re not sure how she’s going to cope this time. Mom told me a week or so ago when she was talking to her mom; grandma told mom that she didn’t think she had much more time here with us. I pray she’s able to get the rest she needs and that she doesn’t have to suffer with pain.

I’m praying for you grandma, all my love,

Deborah

Thursday Afternoon Update:

When Uncle Jim arrived to the hospital this morning, grandma was up and eating really well. She seems to be improving and her speech is better. She’s still pretty weak and will probably need some rehab. The Dr. says by Friday we should see some good improvement.
