The Hospital

Last night I was rudely disturbed by my sister at 1:30 am. Only to be informed that my 72 year old grandmother had possibly had a stroke. I rushed up to Davis hospital meeting my parents, my sister, and my aunt. The Doctor did a series of test and found out that she had not had a stroke but had passed out do to heart problems and lack of oxygen. Among other things she is only using 30% of one kidney while the other is not being used at all. So safe to say she is doing all right. I stayed with her at the hospital so everyone else could go home and get some sleep. They hooked up a small heart monitor to her to record her heart and oxygen intake. I took her home around 5 am and stayed with her until 9 am. My aunt checked on her this afternoon and my mother has been there most the evening. Tomorrow we find out what her heart has been doing. Hopefully they can figure something out to better herself.
