Grandma's Journal

Mom has complained of her medicine all this week. After staying up half the night with her for 2 nights in a row, we came to the conclussion that she was possible having a reaction to her anti-physico meds..
she was showing signs of upset stomach, her head was spinning, rapid heart rate, couldn't breath, anxiety...it was bad...she was going on a trip that was out of this world... during the day she was fine, she was the most coherient we had seen her in months...but an hour after I gave her the meds it was up and down up and down...I was wearing myself out!

With NO meds yesterday, she slept all day...I did manage to get her up twice, to eat and drink, but she would only take a few bites....

Today I forced her up and she ate a little more then yesterday, and she tried for 2 hours to make her bed, but I fianlly managed to get her to lay down for a nap...

I have an early dinner in the over for her, hoping that I can get her to eat something in about 1/2 hour...

I can't belevie how far this medicine took her down...she goes to the doctor next week, and hopefully he will have some magic answers!!!!!

Grandma's Journal My Journal I became a Grandma at the age of 49 years old. Well I was actually only 17 days from being 50. My baby girl gave me gave me my first grandchild. He was a beautiful bouncy boy. Then 2 years later she surprised me on my birthday at 5am by waking me up and telling me "Happy Birthday Mom!" Time to get up we are going to the hospital and having a baby today! I told her NO that's tomorrow. It took a little bit for her to get it through my groggy head that she was going to be giving me a birthday present! and she totally did. She gave me a dark hair beautiful little grand daughter. Now I can enjoy spoiling 2. I have decided that the best thing in the world is being a Grandma! There is nothing that come close to that! I have been married for 30 years to a man that lives for his family. He only wants the best for all of us and spoils us all! He is a good man that works hard for his dollar. We have a pretty good marriage to say the least. Well it must be if we can put up with each others faults this long! My mom who has Alzehimers lives with us and has been for almost 3 years now. She is in the finally stages of the disease and still hangs in there. She loves to grab the broom and sweep. She does this everyday, and several times a day. I keeps her busy. She will even sweep the counch or the kitchen table if you let her. My oldest daughter is going to be 34 years old this year and hasn't lived at home in 16 years. I spend as must time as I can with her. But it is never enough. She plans on coming home to live and take care of us in 7 years. I cant wait! It's my dream to have her home. She is a dear friend to me and we have a great relationship. she always tells me that I am her best friend.

A friend of my oldest daughter made it for me, and she did a beautiful job. I will treasure it always.		2009-04-30 2:37 PM Mom's medicine is a nightmare Mom has complained of her medicine all this week.
