Well it's a very sad night here. After making it through surgery to repair her wrist and hip, my grandmother had a blood clot. They gave her blood thinners, but she started bleeding. So they stopped and had to give a blod transfussion. Then they put in something I forget the name of it, to help protect against anymore clots that may form.
So they were talking about her starting rehab for her hip again starting tomorrow. In fact last night she was able to sit up and move around some. Then it wet bad. She started having real trouble breathing early this moring. They moved her ICU and had her on a vent. It seems that the clot she had in her lung had gotten bigger because they had to stop the thinners. They said the vent was being used to help relax her while they started thinners again. They had to check her blood every few hours seeing how she started to bleed from them the last time.
She looked like she was doing great. I left er at 4pm this afternoon and her heart levels were great as they have been. Then out of no where she had major drops in her heart levels and at one point they had revived her, but she died in a matter of mins.
So just before 6pm tonight we lost one of the greatest people you could ever know. I miss her so much right now, it is very hard to type this.
She was born on 6/29/1916 she was 89 when she past away tonight. She was married to my grandfather who served in WWII. He pasted away before I was born due to problems an injury from the war. My mother is their only child and she was born in 1957. My grandmother work at various factories including one during WWII that produced supplies for the soldiers. My grandfather was never the same after the war and took up drinking shortly after he came home. When my mother was growing up she remembers having to sit and hide with my grandmother becuase they couldnt pay the bill collectors that would come to the house. She went from living like that to living on top of the world with my parents after my mom got married to my step-dad. Even though she ended up not having to worry about money she still lived a very simple life and didnt spend much, but she would always offer to give you the shirt of her back if it would help you (was like that even when she was dirt poor). In fact she was the type of person that never had a single bad thing to say about anybody.
Well it felt a little better writin this, but I caannot sit and write anymore. I know she is in a much better place. They say she didnt suffer and it was quick. I am not the type of person to cry, but I have cried more tonight than I ever have before. I truly miss her so much right now.
