My Grandma just had a stroke and is in hospital.
edited to add:
I just received word that she has died.
A scan shows that her brain is covered in blood. Perhaps that means it was an aneurism. She needs to be transferred to Tulsa. St. Francis Hospital was too full, so some time has been wasted finding another hospital, but they are now in process of taking her to Tulsa.
I am sure she and Grandpa would appreciate any kind thoughts or prayers.
These are the grandparents I lived with when I first started in American high school, and also I lived with them for a year after I graduated. In fact, I was living with them at the time my grandfather on the other side of the family had his major stroke.
of course, Walden - let us know if there’s anything we can do “long distance”.
You know that you can count on my prayers, Walden.

Walden, I’m so sorry to hear that.

My prayers and best wishes are with you and your family. Never get down on yourself, and stay very supportive of everyone. About three months ago, my grandma fell ill, and this was the prognosis: diabetes, respiratory failure, low oxygen, congestive heart failure, obstructive sleep apnea, and neuropathy (just to name a few). Doctors had “done everything they could”, and said that now it was only a matter of time. Well, she wasn’t about to give up, and is now in a rehabilitation center, on a slow but steady trek towards recovery. She has no idea what happened, other for the fact that she was SICK. Granted, she isn’t triathlon-running material. Just don’t get down on yourself, at least in front of family. I never let my family see that I had cried, because it would just weaken everybody’s spirits. We’re all here for you Walden. 
Stay strong, and keep us informed.
Thank you. Most of the kinfolks are gathered with her in Tulsa. I haven’t gone yet, due to my medical treatments making it difficult for me to travel in the mornings.
Mine too. You’re in our thoughts, Walden.
Take care,
John
Thoughts with you. Glad there’s kin there.
I just received a telephone call. The neurosurgeon said it’s “serious and life-ending,” and there isn’t anything they can do. He thinks she will be dead within a few days.
Hi walden, sorry to hear about your ma.
My mother had several strokes and one of them neurismy things also. She took quite a while(6months) to recover physically with her arm and leg,fingers etc. Her biggest hurdle was(and still is) some mental kind of block thing that i think was associated with the aneurismy thing. for example i might ring home on a monday and she would shout out to my dad that “david” or “ciaron” (or any other name except mine) is on the phone!
She also gets everyday phrases mixed up, she has good days and bad days.
i asked her on one of her good days to describe how she felt and she said she knows what she wants to say but it comes out all cryptic and blocked, then she gets frustrated about it.
She taught me to have serious patience and listen to everything she says, and if it comes out wrong … wait, and shell try it again and it might come out right this time.
Anyway thats what my ma is going through(age 62).
What age is your grandma by the way?
By the way folks, if you are able to move a mouse and type and learn/play an instrument then you should give thanks to whoever yor deity be!
Life is great!
i’m sorry to read about your grandma’s state. 
Sorry to hear your sad news Walden.
I hope you and your family will get through this without to much pain.
Slan,
D.
I’m so sorry, Walden. Will keep her and you in my prayers.

Terrible news, Walden. You, your grandmother and all your family are in my thoughts.
I’m so sorry to hear that, Walden. I hope you’re doing ok.

I’m so sorry, Walden. What a sad time for you and your family. Y’all are in my thoughts as well.
My meditations and thoughts are with you and your family.
I’m really sorry to hear this news. I know what it’s like to have grandparents that are litterally part of the household and like another set of parents. It’s tough to think of them leaving. That’s when your faith will be more help than anything else. My prayers are with you and your family.
My Grandmother has died.
She was born and raised in rural Eastern Oklahoma. At the age of thirteen she was a charter member of her church, and the first church secretary. She died a member in good standing.
She is survived by four sons and her husband, their father, as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents and one granddaughter.
