VeAnn and I spent Saturday afternoon through 10:00 PM with Grandma. We stayed with Robyn last night and went back to the hospital at noon today and stayed until 2:30 this afternoon. She slept most all day yesterday but woke up wide awake a little after 8:00 PM. She was very alert when we left at 10:00 PM last night. The stroke has left her speech slurred but she comprehends quite well and knew who VeAnn and I were. When we got to the hospital today we were greeted with grandma sitting in a chair by the bed. It was so good to see. She had a little fruit and pudding for breakfast. For lunch she ate a little of the spaghetti, peas and carrots. The doctor visited with us today and said the biggest concern with stroke is the ability to swallow. It looks like grandma has no problem with that. She does have a long way to go but we are optimistic that she will continue to improve. Bill and Sharon will be with her through tomorrow. Mike is trying to arrange his schedule to visit with her sometime this week. When I talked to Sharon just a few minutes ago she said Robyn had been up to visit before they arrived this evening. Bill said that Billy will be in the area for a few days this Wednesday and wants to visit Grandma. What ever family visits and calls to the room can be made will help speed her recovery. The caution is to call at a resonable hour. She may not be able to answer if a family member isn't there so let it ring a few times and if it isn't answered, try later. Greg.
