Update on my grandma: not good news (prayers would be appreciated)

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

I posted a few days ago about my grandmother being in the hospital. They didn't know what was wrong; thought it may have been some sort of bacterial infection or something. Now they're thinking she had some type of epileptic seizure. She seemed to do doing better.

I spoke to my mother this evening, and she said my grandma's taken a turn for the worse. The doctor said she seemed to have had a heart attack and the siblings need to come to the hospital Sunday morning to discuss what to do (in terms of living will (I believe one's been drawn up, etc.). It doesn't sound good from what my mom said.

I'm trying not to give up hope, and am trying to come to terms with the harsh reality that I'm most likely going to lose my grandmother soon.

I want to thank you guys for your thoughts and prayers and ask that you continue to send good vibes this way, if you don't mind.

Thanks. :(

6. Thank you.

I'm very fortunate to have a good relationship with her and my grandfather. We have spent many good times together (in fact, I used to go over for dinner often when I was going to college; they lived in the same city at the time. They would come and pick me up.), and I will always cherish those memories.

8. I so hate to hear about grandmothers in the hospital. How old a woman is she?

I'll say some good things tonight for her as I ease into bed.

Lighting a candle for her, too, with a short message identifying you only as "S". The candle will burn for 48 hours:

10. You're entirely welcome. I never knew my grandparents very well.

My grandfathers died while I was very young.

Two grandmothers were separated from me by thousands of miles of distance.

That was at a time when air travel was not as common as it is today.

It's good to hear you are close to your grandmother.

I hope my five grandchildren will care about me at the end, of course.

11. You've got them

Grandmas *are* special. :hug: for strength and peace.

12. My grandmas lived well into their 90's

And I wish they were still here, I miss them very much. I am glad you are close to your granmother. I wish her healing and good quality of life. You and she have my prayers.

14. Thank you again. I really feel for my parents, aunts and uncles, too.

I know it's not easy for them. I asked my mom if she wanted me to come down, but she said not now. I don't want to add any more stress to her life than she's already dealing with.
