Just when we thought there was a strong possibility that Granny was going to be okay, the next day everything took a turn for the worst.
She got an infection, something to do with her digestive system. Her blood pressure dropped dramatically yesterday, and they moved her to ICU. They did a cat scan to see what was wrong, and found that she still has fluid in her stomach and around her lungs. On top of all that they found her liver is very small and she has liver disease. There is no way they can do heart surgery.
It's just a rude awakening. The other day I was so happy to think that maybe everything was going to be all right. Granny was so happy at the prospect that they could do surgery and help her. Now they can't do anything to help her.
My Mom and Uncle talked with the doctor today, and he thinks that this is the beginning of the end. Although no one can ever predict, he says she probably will only be with us another week or less.
Of course, I am sad. Sad that nothing can be done. But I don't want her to go on if there's nothing they can do to help because I don't want her to suffer.
It's just happened too fast. I'm not ready to lose my Granny.
I love her so much.
