Grandma Meek

My mom went to stay with Heide when she had her baby and while she was gone she had me taking care of Grandma Meek (my mom's mom). I had to take the kids to their doctors appt. and a few arronds when i came be i found Katie at home crying. Grandma had fallen and broken her hip and Katie had come home from work and found her on the ground. That whole week she was in the hospital laying their with a broken hip trying to get her congestive heart failure under control so they could do surgery. It was horrible seeing her in so much pain. I arrange for people to watch the kids while I went and sat with her in the hospital.The hospital is such an emotionally draining place even though for the most part i was just sitting there trying to comfort grandma i would come home wiped out. I was so grateful to everyone who helped me out. My mom came home alittle early from D.C. I felt bad for heide i dont think she was ready for mom to leave. Grandma had the ball of her hip replaced and did really well. she is still in rehab but every day is different some days she is totally with it and other days she is seeing full size camels in her room( and other such hallucantions). It will be interesting to see what she is like at home.
