Bad Grandma news

[paige_kate]

Well, it's official, the family is going to the hospital tomorrow morning to talk to the doctors and to ask Grandma if she wants to have the ventilator taken out. Mom said that she's gonna ask Grandma more than once if it's what she wants and if she does, she'll be put on morphine so that she's comfortable and we're gonna go from there. I'm supposed to be letting the cable guy in so he can hook up some HD cable boxes, but I'm hoping to get that done before Mom goes to the hospital so I can say goodbye. *sighs* I hate this, I hate that I might not get to see her before she goes, she's my grandma, she taught me how to bake cookies and read me stories and told me about growing up during WWII and encouraged me to be creative and I might not get to tell her goodbye. I didn't get to tell my maternal grandfather goodbye because I was too young to be allowed back in the room and I didn't get to tell my paternal grandmother goodbye because she lived in another state.

I need a hug.

*hugs you close* I'm sorry sweetie, I wish that I could be there to give you a real hug. I hope that you do get to the hospital in time to see your grandmother. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping like hell that you get to say goodbye to her.

I wish I wasn't going away this week but if my grandmother is still using my mobile, I can borrow it from her and send short emails to you from it (the mobile has it's own email address) if you want me to?

*Hugs back* Thank you! I did get to see her. Mom called me right after the cable guy left and I drove up to the hospital and got to see her. She's still alive but she's sleeping and when Mom came home from the hospital, she said that Grandma's breathing was slowing down to about ten breaths per minute and I just got a call from my aunt saying that she was down to eight breaths per minute so it's just a question of time.

I wish you weren't either sweetie, but I know you're excited about your trip. That would be great, it'll really help to have someone to talk to. *Hugs*

I'm so glad sweetie to hear that you were able to see her :). I guess now it's really just waiting isn't it? Perhaps that's the hardest part...

I've written down your email address in my notebook so hopefully, I can write you short mails from Japan with my old mobile. If you see an email that is unfamiliar to you, it's most likely me :)

*smishes you*

Yeah, Mom's at the hospital, she said that her skin was starting to mottle and her breath is rattling (that's not good). Yeah, waiting's the worst, she's making my grandfather very impatient right now I'm sure (he's been dead for 19 years). I hate waiting though but I'm thankful that we've gotten most of the details worked out, Grandma decided to pick out her casket and how she wanted her funeral to be done a few years ago so that takes a lot of pressure off of us. Just let me know who it is so I don't delete you thinking that it's spam or something. Have a good time on your trip, sweetie. *Smishes back*
