I should never say that things aren't too exciting around here anymore. When I do, things just get exciting and not usually in a good way. My grandma gave us quite the scare yesterday. On Friday, my mom talked to the doctor and he said that we are going to need to decide soon how we want to continue my grandma's care. Do we want to continue to be aggressive or do we want to stop everything and consider hospice care. He said that he just doesn't see her pulling out of this. So on Saturday morning my mom went to talk to her and she said that she knew she was reaching the end. When my mom went back in the afternoon, she was so weak she could barely hold her head up. We thought she was gonna fall out of her wheelchair. She said that she wanted to go back to lay down in bed. We were thinking it was just going to be a matter of a few days until she wasn't with us anymore. Luckily it was just a scare, it seems it was the heat that had been getting to her. After laying down in the cooled room, she was much better last night. Not that she's doing all that great, but at least we are not talking in numbers of days now. We still need to decide how we want to continue her care, but at least, it seems, we have some time to decide what to do.
