Oy what a night!!
Got a phone call from one the neighbors saying that there were Fire rescue and amblunces at my grams and gramps house!! She said she thinks my gram had a heart attack!!! I flew out of the house did 60 the whole there (side streets) They were putting her in the ambulance when I got there!!

Well she didn't have a heart attack they think she has the a realy bad flu!! She was dizzy and high blood pressure and then she started vomiting!! So I just got home!! I waited till all the test came back and then came home!! They are going to keep her over night and said it could take hours to get her a bed so gramps told me to leave!! Rich has to work today( it is 12;45am) and I have to get some sleep!! I will take Kenna to school and then go back to the hospital!! Can you tell I feel guilty for leaving!!! I want to go back!!

I swear I am just doomed to never get any sleep!!! I was so scared though!!! OMG I don't know what the heck I would do if I lost her!!! My dad is such an ass!! He sys well if it gets realy bad then I will come up, other wise just call me in the morning and tell me whats up!! He is her only living child!!!!!! We lost my uncle last year to ALS! OOO he just makes me so mad!!

Ok I am going to bed just needed to get it out so maybe I can sleep!!!

I hope your grandma feels better soon! Don't feel guilty about leaving the hospital~ it's nighttime and she probably wants to sleep. When I was in the hospital, that's all I wanted to do, but people kept coming to see me ... So don't feel bad! You can't help her feel better anyway if you feel awful yourself!

Take care, hon. I hope you're able to get some sleep tonight!

I think you're right - someone's out to get you. Well after all of this I think you're due a nice looooong break from trouble. Hope your grams is feeling better really soon and that you'll finally be able to get some sleep!! By the way, how is Kenna doing now?

Heather hope your gram is doing better! I hate this age because grandparents are getting old and sick. I lost my grandpa two years ago and my grandma this summer. I only have one grandma left. I am lucky that I have had them around this long since I'll be 30 in June.

I just called the hospital and she is still in the ER!!! She has been there for 12 hours!!!!! They said they can't find her a bed!!! Which means my Gramps has been sitting in the ER all night!!!!! I called my dad hoping he would go take gramps some food and he said that he didn't want to get sick and there was nothing he could do for them anyway!!! So it is all up to me!!! I QUIT!!!!!!!

I am so mad and pissed and hurt AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

your father is an ASS! I am sorry.. this reminds me of my sis in law Cathy- her mom is seriously ill with cancer and she is doing all the caregiving, as well as taking care of her granddaughter.. and driving an hour each way daily to do it.. because her siblings- several of whom live closer can't be inconvenienced to help. She has given up her "job" helping her husband with his law practice.. put the work she was doing on their house on hold, and basically her entire life on hold. The one day she couldn't be there because of other issues no one went in and made sure her mom had something to eat even though they told her they would so the poor woman went hungry. I want to kill her siblings for their behaviour, but from talking to people it seems ot be more and more common...

Oh sweetie, this is awful!! I can't believe they haven't gotten her in a bed and she has been there for 12 hours!!!! Thats just not right!! What hospital is she at? My girlfriend is a dr at Oakwood. Are they even treating her right now or just making them wait? If they are not treating them than could you maybe take her somewhere else? You shouldn't be left to do all this yourself, I'd be mad and hurt too. I'm so sorry. Call me if you want to talk or if I can help in any way!

Heather,

You are SO SPECIAL! You are priceless!

I can't even imagine what you're going through. You give and give and give and give some more.

I am SO GLAD you arew taking time to give to YOU now. No more commitments to Kenna's school for a couple of weeks, ok? Make soemt ime for YOU. Let someone else do the chocolate baking for a little while.

PLEASE know how special you are...and how much we all love you!

Love,

I'm glad she is finally home and it wasn't anything too serious. I've had major panick attacks like that and it does seem like a heart attack sometimes! If you can't get her to take the zoloft, at least try and get her to take the xanax for a couple of days to calm things down. Than keep tham on hand and if she has more attacks in the future, you will at least have some around. The xanax can be taken just as needed kinda thing but, as I'm sure you know, the zoloft needs a while to work and needs to be taken everyday. It doesn't sound like your going to get her to do that. Why are old people so stubborn sometimes??!!

Now, get some sleep!!! Sweet dreams!!

Hi Heather I just wanted to say that your Gram (and the rest of your family) are fortunate to have had you there for her/them. Oy what a night is RIGHT!!!!!!! You must have been in such a panicky state. Thank goodness it wasn't anything worse, although I can imagine how upset you felt and still feel. My own grandmother lived until 97 1/2, beautiful both in mind and body.

I wish the same for you and yours and I hope you find her feeling better when you next see her.

Take care hon...
