Night Duty update #1

For starters, I'm typing this while sitting in the dark, so excuse me if I make a mistake:)

I'm on night duty here at the hospital with my grandmother. At this point, I could not imagine being anywhere else. My aunt left about 30 mins. ago to go get some sleep, which she despretly needs. She was at home all of 20 mins last night when the hospital called for her to return. My grandmother had an anything but stable night, coming close to earning herself a trip to the ICU. But, SRMC has an amazing staff of nurses here on the 3rd floor, and they quickly got her back to where she needs to be. As my aunt puts it, she restled the alligators last night, and the alligators won.
Today has been a good day. It has progressivly gotten better, and as I type this, my grandmother has been asleep for about two hours. She's sleeping so good she's snoring:) We managed to get her to go for a ride down the hallway today, which lifted her spirits a little bit. I've even been able to manage to get a couple of smiles out of her.
She's settled for the night, but the nurses I'm sure will be frequent visitors tonight. I'm looking forward to it. I would take all the interruptions in the world if it means my grandmother gets back to normal. A little later on I'll post a little more about yesterday, and I'll tell you some more about my grandmother. She's an amazing woman. Until then, I'm going to keep surfing the web while my grandma sleeps peacefully. Say a prayer for us tonight.

Blessings!
