As you guys have probably notice...
I haven't been writing my blogs lately...
I've just been so busy and so many things were happening at once...
I just couldn't find the time...
Worst of all...my grandma is not OK anymore...I am worried about her...
Everything started when I was about to do my last minute college shopping for supplies...
my grandpa called my mom and I when we just got back from one of the shopping runs...
He sounded very panicked and worried on the phone...I have never heard him talk the way he did...
It made me very scared and worried...
He told us that grandma just had a stroke and isn't moving...my mom then told him to call 911...and tried to instruct him to do some Chinese acupuncture to try to remove some blood...there is a Chinese saying that if you release some blood from the tips of a stroke victims fingers, they will be in better condition then having no blood let out from the tips of the fingers...
I am not sure if this is true or not...but...my grandpa was too panicked to do the task...
My mom and I rushed to my grandpa's house...when we got there....we spotted two police cars in the parking lot...
I rushed into my grandpa's house first while my mom was parking the car...
I was so worried...
When I first got into the scene...I saw two police officers...they were apparently trained in the EMT field...
They then asked me a series of questions about grandma...I answered the questions to the best of my ability...then...my mom came in and anwered more questions...
a couple of minutes later...two ambulances arrived...the responders then and set a oxygen mask on my grandma...they said she was having difficulty breathing...
This fact made me even more worried...
To ADD on to that fact...grandpa told the emergency crew that grandma said that her left arm was very numb around noon...then after she ate lunch and lied down to take a nap...she tried to get up and fell down to the floor from either a bed or a chair and couldn't move....
The emergency crew then predicted that grandma had a stroke and, thus, rushed her to the ER of Robert Wood Johnson Hospital...
We soon found out that her brain was bleeding...
This just bought my mood all the way down to being sad...
My parents and I was in the hospital since 2:50pm and didn't leave until around 10:30-11:00 PM...
My father's older sister and my cousin Victor and his family came to visit grandma in the hospital...
The nurses then moved my grandmother to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)...to be watched carefully...
they said that they will be examining her condition for 5 days...I hope nothing will go wrong in these remaining five days...
For the past 2-3 days...my family has been rotating in the job of staying with grandma...
Doctors say that her condition is improving...but...they told us not to expect much...
If she survives...her whole left side would be paralyzed...
These couple of facts bought my grandpa and my father to tears...I've never seen both of them cry before...
I can only hope for the best now...
Well...currently...I am back in college...I am in the dark about my grandma...spring semester has started...
I just hope nothing happens to my grandma...I only hope that she will improve...
