Last week,92 year old Gramma was at sams preparing for a family party (that actually got cancelled because of the course of events). She took her buggy and was heading to the car when she was hit by a truck. We don't know if she walked out in front of it or if he wasn't paying attention. She went to the ER by ambulance, and we were called. She had some bleeding on the brain which they watched for 24 hours. It leveled off, and they released her. Aunt Rita stayed the night with her for several nights. 2 nights ago Uncle Donnie went to check on her. She seemed fine. Then, she was paying bills and said something's wrong. Her hand felt numb. Then she couldn't get words out. She went to the hospital by ambulance again, and there was new bleeding on the brain. This morning, she has her speech back, and we are waiting excessively long for someone to read an mri to see if she had as tia or cva (mini-stroke or stroke). They are taking so dang long, because it won't change the course of treatment. They can't put her on blood thinners to prevent strokes, because it could increase the bleeding on the brain. They moved her from ICU to intermediate care today. We are watching and waiting...
Prayers appreciated.
