An Update on My Grandma

I sort of copied some of this my cousin's wife. I won't say her name because it's private for her. I prefer it that way for my cousins and stuff.

Anyway, here's the update so far (remember, I only copy this):

Mammie is stable, but very exhausted. Said she was in and out of sleepiness but that she is coherent and has been able to answer their questions appropriately. Infectious disease ran tests too. So far nothing is showing that the racoon bite has caused her any issues, according to this charge nurse. Or the rabies shots. They said the reason they had been giving Mammie quite a few blood products because she was loosing a pretty good amount of blood in her stool. Mammie was able to report that that had been happening at home for over a month. They said that's why she has been so weak and passing out here lately. She is still losing some blood in her stool. Nothing has indicated why yet. But, at this time, they are no longer giving her blood products. Her leg is swollen and discolored. I know it was wondered that the leg swelling was from the bite. Mammie also reported that her leg has been swollen for over a month. The vascular surgery team came and ran tests on the leg, showed no clots at this time and there is no surgical intervention scheduled. They also did an echocardiogram, showed nothing alarming the nurse said. Mammie is resting now. She is now breathing room air and has said she is very sleepy.

So, whatever happened to my grandma, it was because of what is mention above.

As for getting there today? The doctors advised my mom and dad that it's better to wait until tomorrow due to the holiday weekend here. Last night, was really tough because everybody really wants to wait until this weekend to go EVERYWHERE.  

If you're a reader from another country, it's basically like Golden Week and other holidays but America version. It's literally the last day of cheap stuff before summer starts... after this holiday weekend.

Alright, I am very sleepy and tired right now so I will sleep. None of us (me, mom, and dad) had not gotten any sleep. since well... the day before.

I will have a late post tomorrow since we might be going up there at some point tomorrow. 

Thank you all if you are praying for my grandma. 

For now, let sleep take over me.

That's all.

With love,

BDK
