I just wanted to share with you how beautiful my grandma was.
It has been a long couple months.
She fell Aug.18th and broke her hip and shattered her elbow. She had a 5 day stay at the hospital then was released to a nursing home for rehab. She was doing really well and as you can see in one of my previous posts, honoring her on her birthday, she looked great. Not sure how things made a turn for the worse except that there was a notable change in her when she was admitted back to the hospital for a possible pulminary embolism, which turned out not to be. She was released back to the nursing home and then had another set back a week or so later. She was put back in the hospital on Oct.9th for severe dehydration, thrush and urinary tract infection. She never was able to make it back from that. On Sat. 10/17 she was placed in a hospice care facility where she passed on Sun. 10/18.
She was completely miserable until they started to sedate her to help calm her down. I am so thankful that my dad was able to spend some alone time with his mother Sunday morning. He left and an about an hour and 10mins. later she passed away.. She wasn't alone, her daughter and grandson were in the room and she opened her eyes briefly and they were able to tell her they loved her again.
It's been such a joy to be able to pray and talk to grandma about our sweet savior. I'm pretty confident that she understood the importance of accepting HIM as her own savior and acknowledging that she was just a lost sinner without him. Dan played such a huge rule in praying and talking with grandma. I am so thankful that I had a chance to be a part of watching him with grandma. Thanks so much Dan for all your love, prayers, support and giving me the chance to spend this time with my grandma.
I am looking forward to seeing grandma again when my sweet savior calls me home!
