My mother called me this evening. Grandma isn't any worse or better. She actually did respond when someone said her name by opening her eyes, but they didn't open very far and she didn't really focus on anything. She's not eating and the only nutrients she's been getting have been through IVs. They think her organs are finally just shutting down. My mom says they are taking it a day at a time. If after a certain period of time she doesn't get any better, they're going to tell the home not to give her anymore IVs instead of prolonging the inevitable. Of course, she could snap back like she has in the past. I was hoping she would hang on one more Christmas, that I could see her one more time and that she could meet Matthew. I don't know. There's no telling what's going to happen.
One day at a time.
life,
grandma
