Granny in the Hospital

The last 24 hours have been pretty eventful. It has been an eventful past 10 days or so, so why should today be any different. My grandmother, or Granny Nuckolls as I call her, is in the hospital. My Dad had to call an ambulance last night because she had fallen about 12 times in the last several days. She suffers from COPD in her lungs and also from cirrhosis of the liver. That weakens her immune system along with the fact that she is 82 years old.

Well, after an all day odyssey at Methodist North, here is the picture as it stands. She has what they think is pneumonia, a possible blod clot in her lung, and weakened kidneys due to dehydration.

Please pray for our family. It works, trust me. He listens! I think that she will pull out of this, but this is the sickest that she has been. This coupled with other recent events has put a strain on me and my Dad. I cried some last night because I was afraid that we were going to lose her. We are going back tomorrow to sit with her. It is kind of a blessing that I lost my job because I have been able to help my Dad much more than if I had to work.

After we left the hospital we had a family dinner consisting of me, Dad, Mom, and my brother Justin. It was wonderful with lots of laughter and was just what I needed after a tough day. Justin had a job interview and I am praying that he will get it. We are hoping to give living together another go in November. We talk in code around my parents, or at least that is what they call it. We just talk in film clips etc. and they have no idea what the hell we are saying.

That is all for now......I am tired and need some rest. I will update things some more tomorrow.
