Here's an update. Grandma was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday, February 9th at about 1pm after my Uncle Jeff found her unconscious on her kitchen floor. It had been roughly 12 hours since she had a massive stroke and she was clinging to life.
For the first few days in the hospital, she showed modest improvement, but unfortunately as of Sunday the neurologists determined that my beloved grandmother, who is more friend than "Grandma" and one of the most amazing people I know, was really no longer with us. Her body was there, but her mind, her personality, her beautiful spirit, were irrevocably gone. To our immense sadness, we had to come to terms with the fact that it was time to let her go. Tonight she is resting peacefully in a hospital room, surrounded by her children, grandchildren, sisters, and a few close friends. We will all miss her dearly, but we're anxious for her to pass out of this world and into the peace that we know awaits her in heaven.
We love you, Grandma!!
