Last night my great grandmother (Granny) had what they think was an anurysim that burst in the left ventrical in her brain. At 6pm last night she was okay, walking, talking. At 7pm my uncle found her almost unresponsive on the floor of her home. An ambulance was called. She was taken to ER.
At the ER, she was given a CT scan, and it was determined that she had a massive brain bleed on the left side of brain and it had discolored the left side of her brain. She is uable to speak clearly. She can still move her her hands and feet as of now. She knows that my family is there.
She if she makes it to Sept 6, she will be 94 yrs old.
The Dr's gave her 24hrs to a week....that was yesterday.
She doesn't seem to be in any pain, but if she does get restless she has an order for morphine every hour if needed.
She went directly from the ER to hospice.
She is sleeping most of the day. I think that she will slowly go to sleep and not wake up.....thats what I'm hoping. I can't stand for her to be in any pain.
She has been saying for years that she is ready go...I guess I'm just not quite ready to let her go yet.
I know that she will be okay....I know what once she passes she will not be in any more pain.
(((((Elizabeth))))) glad to hear she is doing so well. prayers to both of you!! My Nana is 99, and heading down that slippery slope; but i think she is more prepared than any of us!!!
