What a Tuesday

Well needless to say yesterday was a trying day for me. I started my day finding out that one of my close friends Debbie Borener had a stroke on Monday. She is only 42. She couldn't move her right side and can't talk except for yes and no and when she says yes, she shakes her head no and visa versa. They ran some tests on her and found out that she had a blot clot in her heart and that it went to her left artery and her left arterary is 100% blocked and they can't do surgery. She also has mitrvol prolapse (not sure how that is spelled sorry). She is going to have to go to rehab and learn how to speak again. Yesterday even though we got news that she is able to move her right side and almost squeeze a ball so that is a good sign. Please keep her in your prayers and her kids. She has two kids, one is 16 and one is 10.

On another note, I got a call at 9:30 yesterday morning from my mother saying that my grandmother had gotten worse and they didn't expect her to make it through the night Monday night. They took her off oxgyen and said she probably wouldn't make it 30- to 2 hours max. Well they don't know my grandmother, she is one tuff woman. She was still hanging on but had stop breathing several times and her blood pressure and heart rate wasn't good. So I prayed and decided that I need to leave work and go be with her. I figured I was going to be upset anyway so I would rather be with her then stay at work and try to stay calm so I left upset and drove 1 hour to Jasper and spent the day there. She is still hanging on. I hate seeing her this way. She is struggling to breath and her lungs is filling up and they are giving her morphine every two hours to keep her comfortable starting about 4pm yesterday. I think she will stay sleeping most of the time with them giving her that every two hours but at least she won't be suffering. She hasn't eaten or drinken anything since friday so I don't think she can make it much longer. Bless her soul. This has been such a trying day for me. Caylee Grace moved all day. She knew something wasn't right and something was going on. I tried to stay as calm as possible. I don't think I will go back today I feel at east since I stayed up there all day yesterday and I think she knew I was there and that I love her. Thanks to everyone who has kept us in their prayer and please continue to keep my family and my friend in your prayers. I will keep you posted on everything. Love all my blogging buddies and thanks for being there for me.
