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!
