It's been a long day. This morning Busha called me to tell me they had Grandpa M&M in the hospital. He'd been having dizzy spells again & last night he couldn't stand to get off the toilet. QM & Daddy were there for a funeral today (for Daddy's cousin), so they took him to the hospital.
All his tests have come back negative. He has good muscle strength in his arms & legs, but his coordination is very poor. The physical therapist came in to work with him today and said he needs a lot of help. The doctor is suggesting a temporary stay in a nursing home for some serious physical therapy.
While they were at the hospital, Uncle Greenteeth called. They were bringing Aunt Silverbelle in. She was having chest pains. She had a heart attack & they flew her to the big city to their west. QM said Aunt Silverbelle had a 75% blockage & the doctors put in a shunt. She's doing very well from what I've heard. QM said she may be home as early as tomorrow!
Please keep my family in your prayers. While I'm very thankful everyone seems to be OK (at least mostly OK), I know there's still a long road for both my grandpa & my aunt. Grandma & Grandpa M&M have rarely been apart in their 60+ years of marriage. This nursing home stay will be very hard for both. And I'm pretty sure Uncle Greenteeth & the boys need Aunt Silverbell to keep their lives running smoothly...besides, she can't hunt bargains from a hospital bed.
Side note: This is the family Inkling & I share...she also needs your prayers. Being so sick & far from "home" during stuff like this cannot be easy.

Thanks for the update Farmie, I'll be keeping you and Inkling, along with Princess and your brother in our prayers. Tell QM & Daddy I send them hugs during this time, and that we're praying for them!
