    My Grandmother

    Today my grandma was at my uncle's house and as she was leaving she fell down his porch steps and broke her hip and shoulder...the anbulance had to come get her. Right now she is at the hospital--my brother and mo m are staying w/ her tonight. She is going to have to have surgery but they can't do it because she is on Plavix and they have to wait until that is out of her system. so if everyone can think of her when you pray we would all appreciate it so much. All of us grandkids call her Booboo and she is the best in the world to us...she does so much good for everyone...I will let ya''ll know more if I hear anything else...thankyou....so much....

    Prayers for Booboo (what a cute name ) on the way. I hope she isn't in too much pain while she waits for her surgery.

    Sending your dear grandma tons of healing vibes!! Don't worry to much, she will be better

    ps. what is "Plavix"? Is it a bloodthinner? I am taking "Marevan", and always have to kick of it before I can have surgery

    THANKYOU so much for the prayers. That means a lot... I just got home from going to see her. They will have to wait until Wednesday to do the surgery..and they're giving her shots for the pain so she said the pain isn't that bad....
    She isn't eating much..the only thing she has eaten since yesterday is 3 milkshakes....but at least they kinda feel you up...my mom is fixing to go spend the night w/her...my uncle is there w/ her right now. Booboo said she just doesn't want to be alone...
    She got a lot of visitors today and her sister that lives 2 hours away came to see her today. They haven't seen each other in months so she was glad about that...
    anyway thanks for the prayers and I will talk to you guys tomorrow...

    Glad your grandma is as comfortable as possible, and that she has lots of company.

    I hope the surgery goes well for her.

    She might have to have a lot of milkshakes - get all that calcium for her bones! Hope she can look forward to that.

    LOL she probably will...

    I just got off the phone w/my mom and she said that everything is alright that they've had to give her another shot for the pain but she was sleeping right now so that's good..

    I feel so bad for my Papa, he never cries but he has been crying some . I really can't remember the last time I saw him cry.. until now. He is afraid she won't get better but I keep telling him to have faith and pray and everything will be ok....and the Dr. has already said that she had a very good chance of walking normally again--I mean you know it might not be 'like it was' but we just want her to be able to get around she has always been so independant and wanted to do everything for herself.....

    It feels sad at her house...whe n I go over to carry my papa something to eat or something..she's not there and the place just seems quite..

    Her little dog Phoebe has been looking all over for her. She carries that little dog everywhere w/her.

    I guess it is a good thing for sure now about us going to move in w/them now...I'm sure Booboo is gonna need all the help she can get now...I just want her to come home but it will at least be Friday or later before she can cause she is having the surgery Wednesday...

    Sorry about your Grandpa. That's so sad for him. It's good to have
    family to count on in bad times. Your Grandma sounds like a strong
    independent type person, so that will be a help in her healing process.

    I hope the surgey goes smoothly & she can start to get better.
