Gramma update

Nov 24, 2009 21:57

Gramma has an infection of the spinal fluid at the site of her most recent surgery. It sounds serious. They've started her on antibiotics, and they're trying to find someone to operate. I'm afraid to buy her a Christmas gift because if we do and then she dies, it'll like, be our fault for jinxing her.

Further update: Got the above info via text from Christopher at around 6pm. He's home now, and Gramma has been moved to a hospital downtown, presumably for emergency surgery. Dad and Uncle Steve are there with her. She's in a lot of pain, but also somewhat sedated. Christopher doesn't seem to know what to make of what he's heard. Said he was told the surgery could go either way, but doesn't know if that means she might not make it or if it just means she might regain some mobility or might not. On one hand, I feel like it would almost be better for her if she died, because she would finally be free of her pain and restrictions. But none of us is ready for her to be gone. :(

Boppa's blood pressure has come down some, but he's really worried about Gramma and Mom is worried that will make his health worse, too.

Going to the kitchen to make a pizza for dinner now.

family, christopher
