Please Pray - Updated! 16th August

My Grandma has had a massive stroke. I'm just back from the hospital. We got a call from her nursing home this morning (it's right across the street from us) and I ran over (I beat the ambulance, and I had been in my jammies when the called!).

Last night she was sitting up talking to my mum and dad, walking about with her stick. Now she's paralysed on her right side, can't speak and is very poorly.

We're waiting on the CT Scan to see if it was a clot (better prognosis) or a bleed (worse prognosis).

She's 87, a tough old bird, but she's so dignified that I know she'll be terribly upset at this. I told her I'd have to go as I wasn't allowed to stay and she looked paniced and squeezed my hand really hard.

So, as with all strokes, it's now a waiting game...........

Sorry to hear about your Grandma

My OH's granddad had a big stroke at 91 years old, he spent about 3 months in hospital and now he is at home looking after himself etc and is about to celebrate his 95th birthday. It is a shock when it first happens but I am sure your Grandma will be fine and back home before you know it.

We got the scan results today. It's a bleed stroke. No coming back from it. They have spoken to the neurologists at the Southern General and they all agree that she is too old and too ill to operate for the slim chance of recovery.

I agreed with the doctors that a DNR should be placed on her.

So it's just a waiting game. It could be tonight, tomorrow, next week, next month or next year.

So now, instead of praying that it'll be okay, I'm praying that it won't be long.
