Update on “Grams”
Sean and I got back late this afternoon from New York. We had a good visit with Oma, Opa and Aunt Cate. 🙂 I spent 12 hours on Saturday in the hospital with my mom, Uncle Bob, Aunt Sue and Aunt Laurie. We spent time our time in the ICU waiting room, taking turns going in to be with/visit with Gramma.
Grams has been sick for a few weeks, and has been in and out of the hospital for what seemed like minor sickness, but returned home the most recent time, and ended up being transported to the ER not too much later. She has what’s called Clostridium difficile, or “C Diff” in short. She hasn’t been doing very well; her kidneys have shut down and she’s in septic shock. Through the weekend, she had times of mental improvement, but the physical symptoms were never better. She started getting edema, and now has another infection that they can’t treat because of the medications she’s already on for the c diff.
Family continues to hold her up in prayer, and stay by her side. We’re not sure what the outcome is going to be at this point, we are just praying for her healing and comfort.
I”ll update as I know more…
