What a weekend it has been. Friday night we sent great grandma by ambulance to the hospital for a head CT to see if there was any blood clots or what was causing her strange behavior. She was talking like a child just learning to talk, she would scream out like she was in pain and then when we put her dinner in front of her she acted like she didn't know what to do with it.
So she got to the hospital about 7 and it took them til 11 that night to get her sedated enough to do a CT scan. They admitted her to the hospital at 11:30 that night and as of Sat. they were going to keep her for atleast 3 days and see where things were at that point.
She has been refusing to eat or drink anything since she was admitted Friday night except once in awhile she might take a sip or two of water. Tonight my grandma got her to eat 2 bites of Ice Cream, a bite of Jello and a couple sips of water for dinner but she got her to finish most of an Ensure tonight.
She's also been refusing her meds and the only ones she is getting are the ones they can inject like the antibiotic for her UTI.
I feel for the poor nurses as she is quite hateful and not too happy to be in their care. In fact I think she kicked a nurse a couple times today and has clocked them a couple times today as well. It takes atleast 2 nurses to get anything accomplished to keep her from hitting the other one.
I tried bribing her with pie, etc. today just to get her to take some meds but no such luck. We even tried lacing her coffee with a med to see if she would drink it but she wouldn't even take a sip.
Yesterday she was talking about how we all have to go sometime and she thought maybe it was her time to go. Meaning she was giving up maybe... not sure completely because she honestly is in a time way before I was even thought about. Most of the time I am usually called one of her sisters or someone I don't know.
That's all for tonight but I'm sure there will be more updates tomorrow.
