Gram did not keep her lunch down. Lethargic - tired - hard laboured breathing. Beth and I gave her options and she decided to go to hospital. She was crying. Mom came over to take us in.
We were there for 6 hours. The first doctor said tht while she is dehydrated, she is also filling up with fluid so can't give her IV fluids. She gave her a shot of Zoflan - she ate soup, juice nd strawberries and kept it down.
The second dr wanted to give her fluids - but she wanted to go home - so we asked for a prescription for anti-nausea medicine.
Ashlee dropped in to see Gram before work.
Flornie cme in and told Gram not to give up the fight. She told Mom that Karen, Lynn and Lester plan to put Gram in home and they want to know when Grams ppointments are and when she goes to the hospital.
Gram went to bed when we got home.
Kevin was out - but Gram didn't stir. Lester came over - I questionned him - first I said that Gram's appts are always on the calendar and I always call him when she goes in - and I am tired of the family shit and won't deal with it anymore. He tried to hug me - but I turned and he said ignore them. I asked if he had Gram on a list. He said no - they cn't put her on a list without talking to her first. He thinks she has given up and wants to die at home. I said with as large a family as ours and all the community supports there is no reason she can't die at home. He agreed and said everyone needs to do better including him.
Beth was over - Gram still asleep.
Gram woke at 10 - she changed into PJ's and went back to bed
