Life & Death

Five minutes after I published the last post, my mother called. She said my grandmother had had a stroke and 2 seizures. She was in the ICU, sedated and intubated.

I felt so silly. Here I was, talking about birthday party planning and my grandmother is between life & death. I was a wreck for the rest of the day, and still had to function at work and also take care of my son.

Later that night, my mom called to say there was a 180 degree change. Granny was sitting up, lucid, talking to everyone. The stroke was mild, she can move everything. She even complained about not having her hairbrush handy, and reminded them 2-3 times to bring it on the next visit. That's my grandma!!!
