So unfortunatly the past 24 hrs have sucked ass!  Was at work last night when I got a call from Dad that Grandma died....yeah I flipped the fuck out!  Got let outta work and went and got Daniel and went to Genesys where everyone was at...just to find out that in fact Grandma hadnt actually died yet!  Uncle Kevin came home to find her passed out in the bathroom and barely breathing.  The paramedics bagged her and got her to the hospital.  After testing it was found out that she had had an Anyerism (sp?) and a massive stroke and was put on life support.  Myself, Daniel, Dad, Aunt Laurie, Jess, Jennifer, Aunt Debbie, Uncle Kevin, Kevin Jr, Christie, Jenette, and Uncle David were all at her bedside all night long, around 3 I took Daniel home so he could go to bed and then Dad called and said that they decided to take her off the ventalator, they waited for me to do it and we all sat there while they turned everything off and took all the tubes out of her.  I dont think anyone even took a breath waiting in anticipation for the worst.  But nope, not my Grandma...she isnt gonna go down without a fight...she started breathing on her own!  It was pretty tense there for a while cuz a few times we all thought it was "that" time...her breathing was stopping and what not, we all sat there and watched her monitor like it was the lottery!  But she's holding on!  The doc said that it could be hours, days even a week or so, theres just no telling.  She never regained conciousness at all and she is for the most part comfortable and not in pain.  She is in all intense and purpose "gone" and we've all said our goodbyes and now its just a waiting game.  Im functioning on 3 hrs of sleep that I got in around 3 something earlier today, then got up, showered and headed back up there...of course there was alot more family there by then. So yeah...shit just kinda sucks right now and to top it off...her birthday is the 20th...I wanna say shes gonna be 86 or 87?......
