I spoke with my mom this evening, regarding my grandmother’s deteriorating health. She was rushed to the hospital last Sunday after her blood pressure reading was 186 over 124. By the time they got to the ER, it had dropped to 70 over 30. They also found blood in her urine, so they started running all kinds of tests. She has a severe kidney infection but thankfully, her blood pressure has stabilized. She’s in a regular room now but has had a lot of difficulty walking, talking, going to the bathroom on her own and has been getting very confused.

They have no idea when she’ll be able to come home but when she does, hospice will be coming in 5 days a week to help my mom and Tammy out. I hope she’ll be better by the time we get there. At least enough to be able to enjoy having company around and not remember us stopping in for a visit (she can;t remember who’s visited her and on most occasions, can’t remember who her visitors are when they are there with her).

September 17th can’t come too soon.
