So Sunday was Mother's Day and most of our big family got together to go to church to surprise Grandma. Well lets just say she's the one that ended up surprising us. She got out of the van just after we arrived at the church and got a little dizzy but seemed to be okay after a few mins and was able to get into the church to sit down. After most of the family had gotten seated she really started feeling bad, dizzy and nauseated and ready to pass out. Luckily we have 2 nurses in our family so they came up to check her out and take her vitals and all that stuff and after about 10-15 mins or so Grandma said she wanted an ambulance. She just was so weak and dizzy she didn't think she was going to make it. My cousin called 911 and within about 5 mins 2 Sheriffs and 3 Firefighters where there as first responders and were about to talk to our nurses and Mom and I and Grandma to assess what was going on and what was wrong. The ambulance arrive about 20 mins later and they got her loaded up and after another 10 mins or so we were finally on our way to the hospital. We spent about 4 hours in the ER and they couldn't figure out a cause for what had happened or anything else so they prescribed her an inhaler to help with her breathing so she's get more oxygen in her system and sent her home with us. She was pretty wiped out and fell asleep a couple times on the way home and then took a long nap once home. She felt so bad that all this had to happen on such a nice day when everyone was there to see her and celebrate with her. Monday was her 96th birthday so that was also what we were there to celebrate with cake after church but we missed all that. I'm not sure still what caused her to feel so bad, could be an inner ear thing with her crystals being out of place since that has happened before.
She ended up falling early this morning after going to the bathroom. About 3:30am Mom came down and woke me up to go help pick Grandma up off the floor and get her back into bed. Needless to say it took me forever to get back to sleep after that and I didn't sleep worth shit either. I'm almost afraid to take sleeping pills now because Mom may need me to help with Grandma again in the middle of the night. She's got an appointment tomorrow to have her ears checked out and hopefully get her crystals back in place and maybe this will fix the problem.
Anyway, that's how my last few days have been. So if I'm bitchy or distant this is why, I've just got too much stress on my plate right now and really can't handle any more.
