My Grandma had a stroke this past Thursday. The first hospital thought it was a sinus infection and was going to send her home that day. Idiots. They finally saw the light and came to the conclusion she had a stroke. She is 86 years old and has been through a lot over the past few years. Nothing as serious as this though.
It was hard going to the hospital that day and seeing her in pain. Just a couple weeks ago I saw her and she was just fine. Now she can't talk and I'm not too positive she knows who I am when I visit. I think she may though, I want to think so anyway.
We were always really close. I would always spend the night at her house on weekends when I was little and play board games, watch tv, cook, and I would do chores for her.
Tomorrow the hospital is going to put a feeding tube in her. I don't think I want them to but my mom gave them the go-ahead. I don't want to see her die but I hate to see her suffer. I feel that death is sometimes the better option.
Anyway, if you guys could keep my grandmother and my family in your thoughts, I would appreciate it. It's hard for me especially since she was the only grandparent that I have ever known.

Absolutely ---I really do understand.I lost my father almost a year ago. It is tough to go through it,but at the same time, it is a privilege to be there for them.I had to go to Jamaica and sit with my Grandmother for several days in her final hours.(she lived with my parents at teh time,who wee missionaries there)Hard, but I am grateful to have been afforded the oppurtunity.
Donnie, I know it's hard, but God some how in His wisdom will get you through it. We will sure keep you and your entire family in our prayers.
God bless you brother in your time of need.
