Stressful Days...

It is with much sadness that I write this post.  My grandmother had to be hospitalized today.  She broke her hip in August.  She was in Carolina's Hospital for close to a month and was  then transferred to Heritage Nursing home where she has been residing while participating in their Inpatient Rehabilitation.  She has been doing excellent in Rehab and this past weekend, she enjoyed a day pass from the facility and joined us at Freedom Florence to watch Dalton play baseball.  How WONDERFUL it was to see her back in society enjoying life again.  It has been overwhelmingly painful to see her in the nursing home.  Our family really thought we would be able to bring her back home in a couple of weeks and then a set back...  Today, she got off balance while getting dressed and almost fell.  One of her attendants grabbed her arm to stop her from falling and tore the skin off of her arm (HUGE area).  Grandma is on Coumadin, a blood thinner, and her arm would not stop bleeding so she had to be taken to the ER where she was admitted and has been receiving plasma and Vitamin K to help her blood to clot.  In fact, her bleeding time was SKY high which indicates she was taking way too much Coumadin so we were probably lucky it was found before she bled to death internally.  It is so sad to see her back in the hospital just days before we were hoping to bring her home.  Please keep her and my family in your prayers.  My dad is stressed to the MAX and he has heart disease (he had a massive heart attack a few years ago), my mother also has heart disease (heart attacks x 2 ) and she is worried about my grandma and my dad.  My aunt is worried sick, my sister and I am worried to death.  We are all trying to work and keep a keen eye on her, so please just lift my family up in prayer.  Thank you!
