It has been a terribly trying & heart breaking day. Mom left Grandpa with the speak therapist helping him work while she went to pick Trinton up from school and when she tried to talk to him after the gal said he was doing good & left, all he could do is smile at her. He could not talk or communicate at all. He was having another stroke. She flat out told him she was calling the ambulance & usually hed argue, but couldnt make any kind of fuss. After the EMTs got there, as they were checking his vitals he went into a full blown grand maul seizure, and died. They did chest compressions and got him back breathing again. Between talking to me and calming her panic, mom got in the ambulance & went to Metro Hospital with my Dad. They told mom on the way it didnt look good at all. After they got there they got him stabilized & put him up on the forth floor for the night. My daughter called and says he is very cold & very blue. .......................Mom says now he is awake, trying to talk & laying on his side with his color slightly improved. His pace maker is not functioning properly. His heart beats on its own only 10% of the time, the pace maker has to do the work 90% of the time when it functions properly. Sooner than later now the heart will just wear out. We will probably have to bring him home tomorrow or the next day & just try to keep him comfortable and hope he passes in his sleep without pain. We are so sad & distraught. You just feel so helpless. He has a DNR in place. Trinton is feeling very confused & angry right now. Feels its not fair when it seems like just yesterday he lost his dad, & now his Grandpa. I did not take Trinton to the hospital. I felt he was not equipped to deal with all the chaos. Instead we talked about things & had a good supper & he took a shower. Hes managed to calm down. He is going to stay home tomorrow so we can go see his Grandpa wherever he is. We will pray for Gods will to be Done. Whatever is best for my Dad. It is really heart breaking. I know that life is a circle, but letting go hurts so much. My daughter Krystal got a babysitter for her girls, took her Grandma some good coffee, soup & an Apple pie as she had forgotten to eat all day. After she got her Grandparents settled she went home to give her girls their baths and put them to bed. Krystal, her husband Silas & the girls are going up to see their Grandpa in the morning before Silas has to go to work. Maybe I can get a ride out to pick up Moms car and go to the hospital with Trinton. Well just have to take it all a little bit at a time.May Angels be with my parents & my family.Amen
