Grammy was moved out of ICU to a hospital room on a ward this afternoon.

Grammy ate a full breakfast this morning!

Dad is with Grammy now, we are waiting for another call but his first call told Mum--to know that she may not fly out tonight because she and dad may be able to fly Grammy home later this week!?!?!?

Grammy talked to Karl on the phone!

Grammy is alert today. She said, "I can't believe I am still in Georgia, I just might have to buy a house here."
Remarkable. She is even reading the clock.
They will be getting her up to a chair this morning.

Grammy is doing well today. She had a normal conversation with her son, and even stated that she was with Sarah, Anna, and Tim when she fell, a recent memory. CAT scan showed no increase in bleeding this is good. She is sleeping a lot, relaxed and calm and arousable. So far, so good.

update



















Thank you for your prayers and concern. No significant changes yet. Yesterdays CAT scan revealed 4 total places of bleeding or bruising on the brain. She answered all of her sons questions about her children's birthdates and anniversaries, but not surprisingly, can't grasp that she is in Georgia in the hospital. Grammy is getting another CAT scan right now. I just looked at the pictures of her on my blog. A couple days ago Grampa was telling me, that wasn't a long enough walk for Grammy, we need to go around the block again; and she was beating us in cards, and going into the bathroom with lipstick, face powder and a comb after each meal to pretty up. What a difference a few days makes. She has what is called a central line because they are giving her plasma to try to counter the coumadin and stop the bleeding. Today should tell us a lot more about whether her brain will stop bleeding and simply take time to heal or not.

According to the nurse "Grammy is not the same person we left last night" she is not coherent and agitated. We are going to the hospital, please pray for wisdom in decisions and mercy.

January 1, 2009--not as we planned.

Grammy Belle fell while making an attempt today to "see the kid's rooms upstairs" as she has been wanting to do all week. She had gone up three steps and fell backwards and hit her head and was immediately unconscious and breathing deeply. She is in ICU tonight watching her because she is on a blood thinner and the CAT scan showed a small bleeding area in her brain so the doc's want to observe her for 24-48 hours. As always, your prayers are appreciated.
