~ Thoughts from the mind of a wolf ~
Where do I start,
So when I received the call from mom that she was not gonna make it I left asap. When I got down there she told me that a miracle happen and she was still alive. They were able to get her on the best meds and ventilator, she was ok. For days they kept her sedated for her heart and lungs to heal. After many days her insurance can keep her only for so long so they took her to my home town to another hospital were she can get the best meds and care.
So getting to the point bout her condition, her lungs are shot...from the many years of smoking, though her brain is ok and liver is fine, the doctor says she has a strong will in her...so she's not weak, but her breathing is. She is forever gonna have to be on a oxygen tank, she also has a chance to live 2-3 years if she follows the doctors orders.
Though now we reach to a really difficult point. Right now there trying to ween her off sedation so they can see if she can stable her breathing on her own, but...knowing grandma she started have anxiety and starting to fight with the machine by waving her hands around and not getting comfy. So now she's sedated again, and whats sad is that, she has a chance to survive this and get threw it. That's if she calms down and listens to the doctor. Now I understand she's scared she doesn't know whats going on, but this waving her hands and having anxiety could do damage, by having IV's pulled out or the tube from her mouth.
There gonna try again slowly but...if she continues to do this....it might be her time. We all love her and care for her, and we understand she isn't gonna be happy and we do respect her wishes that if she goes down, will let her go, which sadly may get to that point were they will shut the machine off...after consulting.
It's hard on all us family and me right now as I am typing this. She's 87 and lived a good life, if her time has really come...then...I hope she goes in peace.
Thank you all so very much for reading and sending thoughts and prayers this way for my grandma.
This is where I have to be strong, I know that's what my grandma would want me to do, she's so proud of me....for my job, and my life going the way it should.
That's all I can say right now, it's getting to me right now. I may not be on for a while, but I will be in touch.
