2-16 hospital

        My Grandma is still in the hospital. I talked to my Aunt Judy yesterday and she had a huge hematoma that burst and blood was everywhere. It scared my Aunt and she called the paramedics and they went to the hospital. Her skin is so thin when she bumped her leg, it split open about 4 inches long. Then the blood flooded out. The Dr. said she needs to stay until Tuesday and the wound care center could come and look at and see how to take care of it. She has dimensia and they think she will have to go to a 24 hour care facility. My Aunt has been taking care of my Grandma for over 10 years. It’s getting harder and harder for her to care for her since she is in her 70’s. I talked to my Grandma in the hospital and she sounded good, tired, but good. She doesn’t know they are talking about the care facility home, she will not like it. Sadly she won’t have much choice if my Aunt can’t do it, there is no one else. Also the Dr. said she probably only has 3-6 mo left, maybe a year, but it is doubtful. I feel awful and wish I were there. My Aunt is really not my Aunt she was my moms cousin, and my Grandma is her Aunt Dottie. I call Aunt Judy my Aunt but we are really second cousins I think. I’ve always called her Aunt and she is an awesome lady. I love her very much and can’t believe the sacrifice she has made to take care of my Grandma. She is so selfless and does for others before looking out for her own needs. I know she is tired and it will be easier for her if Grandma goes into a home. I just hope that she is still there when I go in on April 9^th. It’s hard to live far away from family, especially when they start to get old and get hurt.
