for those of you who don't know (probably most of you as i haven't really been talking about it), my grandmother has been having some health problems lately. she had knee surgery, and because of that, my mom is living with her for the next month or so to help her get things done.
in addition, she had bad chest pain a few weeks ago and had to go to the doctor. they figured out it wasn't a heart problem, but gall stones and i think a few other things. things are lost in the translation talking about it with my mom on the phone. i think they are still waiting on some tests to come in actually.
then saturday night, she had horrible stomach pains and my parents took her to the emergency room. the doctors there ran tests but couldn't figure anything out so ended up sending her home at like 5 sunday morning. she continued feeling bad all day, but not nearly as bad as the night before.
this morning i called on the way to work and she still wasn't feeling well, but everything was okay.
just got a phone call from my dad now and apparently things have changed. my great uncle, my grandmother's brother, came to visit her while my mom was there and collapsed, apparently due to a heart attack. last i heard they were rushing him to the hospital but he looks to be in bad shape, possibly already passed on. details are spotty.
on the way to the hospital, an intestinal expert at the emergency room my grandmother went to saturday night called, saying he'd reviewed the tests that had been run then, and that she had to come in for surgery today. not sure exactly why but i'm hearing it third hand.
please keep my whole family in your prayers guys.
