Here we go again.....

[Motherofthree]

My gram has been in a nursing/rehab facility since February of this year due to a stroke that has left her right side paralyzed.. She can eat on her own but still can't verbally speak to you. She can't walk either. She knows who I am but can't really say anything but "Hi, How are you?". It just kills me inside.. But anyways.. My Grandma was rushed to the hopsital today.. BP was high, had a fever, and her foot was looking disgusting... Well they think she has a bone infection. In medical words it's called osteomyelitis. Usually caused by a bacteria called Staphylococcus. So long story short, just keep her in your prayers..

Oh! By the way...this is the only Grandmother that I have left and the only one I ever knew.. Her house it being taken away as we speak by medicaid. The only thing she has. The one thing she worked her whole life for. Only in America.

Carol, my father had POA!! he has been taking "care" of her since this happened. It dosen't matter who has POA. Once she files for medicaid the state will take all of her assets over $1500. The government is taking the house, car, and eveything else!!

That is so sad. Those who have pay for those who do not, not fair!! Hugs.

I know! I cry all the time.... My gram is "gone"....the least that the government could do is let her grandkids keep the only thing she worked for! THE HOUSE~~ Just venting away......sorry...

[MandMnmbr3]

Allison... I will keep your Gram in my prayers too! How sad about the house and all of the other belongings.

Hugs,
Mae

[asumom]

i am so sorry to hear that the gov is taking everything, it isn't fair, I will keep you and everyone including gma in my prayers that all works out.

[SSIAnkie]

Allison, I am so sorry! A stroke is hard, but taking everything.....that is devastating! My grandma sold her home to my Mom (thankfully) for $1 several years before she became sick. I know it is hard to see the aftermath of the stroke, and to know they are there and just can't speak. My Dad is no longer speaking either, and it is so hard to try to figure out what he wants. He can walk. And sometimes it seems as though he is cognative, and other times it seems his mind is a little fuzzy. Just be there for your Gram. It's all that you can do. And try to remember the good times with her. I like you only had one grandmother, and we had a special relationship. It is hard to see them that way....just remember the way it used to be and all the happy times! It helped me to do that. I will be keeping you, your Gram, and your family in my prayers. Thinking of you and wishing you all the best!

[Motherofthree]

Thank you all so very much. It means a lot to me and my family. I know you all have different things going on in your life and I just really appreciate you all taking the time out and supporting and praying for my Grams situation. Thank you all.:)

~Still waiting for an update from my Dad.

[momsangel]

Even though we all have things in our lives,it doesn't take alot to say a prayer for others;)

[MandMnmbr3]

Allison, you and your whole family are in my prayers during this difficult time. I know how you are feeling hon, I went through this 5 years ago with my Mom. It's NEVER easy to let go.

Hugs,
Mae

[Motherofthree]

Thank you guys for all the prayers. This is very hard to talk about.

Well, I was misinformed. Grandma was never on life support again.. She has been breathing on her own since the second stroke. Which was about a week ago but she is not all "there" if you know what I mean. Well yesterday hospice stepped in and is now giving her morphine. She is unresponsive, stares into space, and is just laying in her bed at the nursing home. My family from Florida will be flying here and will get here tonight. This looks like it's finally time and I am ready for her to be happy and in no more pain. It was so sad, yesterday my Father was pulling all of her pictures and cards of the wall in her little room and showing them to her...My father dosn't want me to be there when she passes..I do not know what to do. The kids start school on Thursday. Tomorrow will be her 88th birthday.

Just wanted to update you all..

[Cpogie]

I'm so sorry Allison. Your dad is probably trying to spare you what your grandma is going through, Sometimes it is better to remember our dear ones they way you remember them best and not in a hospital bed. Prayers for your grandmother, your family and you dear. Hugs.

[twowhit]

I think Carol is right, your dad probably thinks it would be easier on you to not be there. But it might give you some peace to be there as she passes into a better life. Just do whatever feels right to you... we all have different needs at a time like this. Hugs & prayers.

Thank you all soooo very much! You are all truly so kind and sweet...

The funeral was yesterday and the wake was Thursday..She was burried beside her husband. (my grandpa which I never got to meet, he died when my father was 18 years old so my gram was a widow for 37 years) When they closed the casket yesterday I had to be held up and given smelling salt because I was swaying back and forth..I remember yelling "Grandma, Grandma" and then having people sit me down on to the chair. I was hysterical..I couldn't believe how emotional I was...I can't explain it....Thanks for letting me ramble on...pheww! Anywho...You all mean a lot to me..

[Ginnycakes]

Sorry about your grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you also.
