So I have some sad news: On Mon. night at about 10:00pm my Grandma Olson had a massive Stroke and is now in like a coma of sorts, she is non responsive and has a major bleed in her brain, I went down to Albert Lea with my brother Nate at about 1:15am on Tues. morning and was there all day yesterday till about 10:00pm, nothing really changed yesterday, the Doctor came in and showed an image from the CT scan and the bleed has taken over her whole brain now and she has no reflexes, so now it's just a waiting game for her body to give out.
It is just so unexpected and this is so hard, she would be 72 this year and just had a physical on Thurs. and was told she is a picture of health!
I would really appreciate prayer's for my Mom Joan, she is not taking this very well and is very emotional (as is to be expected!) right now, and also for the whole family: there are 2 of them as my Grandma was re-married after my Grandpa died, so that everything would go smoothly after this is over as far as the "STUFF" (you know how that goes).
Well I know yesterday morning her pulse was not strong at all and hardly there in her feet and she was very cold and last night when I left she was running a low-grade temp. and had a VERY strong pulse in her feet again (?) so that was very promising for my Mom but the doctors didn't really think anything of it! I just think that you (as a person going through something like this) just take everything as positive and don't like hearing anything negative! the low-grade temp is because of the large amount of blood in the brain, it's putting alot of pressure there and the body does not know what to do about it so that's how it deals with it. Kind of like spilling water on a circuit board, is kinda how it was explained to us.
So that's all I know right now, I haven't heard from my Mom this morning, but will update when there is some change. Thank you for all you prayers and please keep them coming! JAMIE
