Could use some prayers

Today I called my 97 year old grandmother after my Weight Watcher's meeting as I do each week to report my progress.

I could barely understand her, she was slurring her words so badly, and I kept hearing the nursing assistants saying "Ms. Felt - are you ok???" and then taking the phone from her and telling me they'd call me back.

I called my parents immediately (they're in NC - I'm in GA) and told them that they needed to call the home and see what's going on. My dad said - she's been slurring her words all week - they have her on some pain medication because she fell earlier this week.

Well, my mom went over there and said that they think that she was having a mini-stroke during my call to her. I just sensed something was not right.

This woman has a SHARP mind - her body just isn't cooperating. My mom spent the rest of the day with her and said that she's aware that she's not making sense and it's very sad (this is her mother). We almost lost her two years ago - I was called to come home if I wanted to tell her goodbye - but she pulled through and has moved from being in a wheelchair to walking again with a walker.

I would appreciate it if you would say a prayer for her to your higher power! Thank you!

Absolutely! Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. :hug:

i definitely will pray for your grandmother as hard as i can!! i think it is quite amazing and awesome that she is 97 years old. she must have had really good health!!:grandma:

You, your grandmother, and your family are all in my prayers, Robin. :hug:

97 years old? God bless her! Of course she will be in my prayers.

Aww Robin you, your grannie and your whole family are in our thoughts and prayers tonight and always. Believe in the best hon, prepare for the worst and bless every day of those 97 years....that's a long gift of life, love and wisdom that I pray will continue for some more good years. If you need to talk you know the numbers and you know you can call day or night my friend (and forget the perfect southen manners, you call and don't worry about being a "bother" or "disturbing us" I can read your mind about that) :grouphug:

I will keep her and yourself in my prayers..

I will keep her in my thoughts Robin.

Thank you everyone - and thank you Jo for your call. My mother corrected me, she's not 97, she's 95 and a half (do we start adding halves again when we hit a certain age? LOL)


I appreciate your warm messages and prayers. Jo, I passed the suggestion onto my mother and she's going to speak to the doctor tomorrow - thank you!

You got it.
