September 13, 2011 Email Update

It was so wonderful to see Grandmommy up and so alert today. She was talking and laughing and just being the wonderful woman that I know and love. Her speech was very clear; I could understand every word. When I got there, she was just finishing her lunch/dinner. I sneaked in stole a kiss and then the nurses came in. So I left back out for a few.

When I was able to get back in her room again, I was with Aunt Marjorie. She, Grandmommy and I just talked and talked. Grandmommy said, she was enjoying the conversation with two beautiful women (teary eyed) when Uncle Wayne came in and asked how she was doing. Eventually I had to play nice and allow someone else to come back (but not without a lot of pouting…lol). So I left and then went down to get something to eat in the cafĂ© across the street. They have GOOD food there.

So until I left at about 8:30p I was able to peak my head in a few more times and sneak a kiss. Before I left I was able to get some more information about Grandmommy’s condition. Here is what I know. Not complete but its what I know.

From my posting yesterday about the heart attack. The doctor said that when he/she was looking at the CAT scan they noticed a minor heart attack. No damages was noticed and they expect Grandmommy to make a full recovery.

This morning, another doctor said that they notice her heart flutters and want to watch that. She will need to see a heart doctor and most likely will need to take heart medicine.

The speech therapist is very happy with her progress and says she is doing good. Oh and she asked that famous question: “Where is my pocketbook?” LOL Yup. Grandmommy is doing much better.

Oh last but not least, Grandmommy does not need to be in the ICU anymore. They want to move her out but they do not have any rooms available and do not foresee any becoming available. They said that if they don’t get a room in a couple days, they may transfer her to another hospital. Will keep everyone updated about any transfers.

Well that’s all I have until tomorrow. If anyone has any thing to add, or any corrections to my information please let me know.
