Yesterday when I got home from work, I received a call from my 87 year old Grandmother. She had driven to the bank and become ill. She asked if I could pick her up because she was too dizzy to drive.
My wife and I drove to town to pick her up and bring her car back to her house. She was very sick vomiting in the parking lot. I helped her into the back seat and got her home.
She was so dizzy that when we got her home she was unable to walk even with my aid. I carried her into her house and got her set up on the couch. After arguments about going to the hospital and vomiting and dizziness for a couple of hours we finally called an ambulance.
As of this morning the prognosis is that she had a small stroke and it has affected her balance and coordination on her left side.
She is worried about my grandfather (he's 94) being fed and looked after. We assured her that this will not be a problem as the members of the family will tend to him.
Please pray for her quick recovery and comfort for her. It sounds like she will be in a nursing rehab facility for a couple of weeks.
This is the toughest woman I have ever met. I remember her cooking for my grandpa and cleaning her house when she had pneumonia a few years back. This being unable to care for her husband is very hard on her.
