Grandma still in coma

That's the respirator that my Grandma is using...


My grandma fell into a coma on Friday morning when my cousin tried to wake her up at 11am and she just didn't respond. It was weird because my grandma never slept past 8am and she's always up when I was getting ready to go for work during the times she stayed with us. That morning, an ambulance was called to send her to University Hospital.

Doc said she suffered a stroke and now in coma. Half of her body will be paralysed as the stroke affected her left brain. It's such a heartache to see her lying in bed, using a respirator to breathe and couldn't open her eyes. But she could her us. I held her hand and called her and she responded my moving her fingers and left leg. Today was the second day and 72 hours is nearing and she still hasn't woke up or opened her eyes. Everyone was so worried and all my uncles and aunts are the hospital hoping for some good news.

I've never felt this way before because I have not been faced with someone dear lying on the hospital bed and is in critical condition. It hurts to know that the someone is my grandma. While I was waiting to go into the room to see her, a lady doctor was at the entrance breaking the news of a almost dying patient to her family. It was my first encounter on how the doctor would break such news to a family. The patient beside my grandma is on her dying bed. She was in coma for 5 days and perhaps today is her last. Just hearing what would happen to the next door patient is heart wrenching enough. I wouldn't know how I would react if the news was for me.

Even if my grandma survived this critical stage, life would never be the same. She would never be mobile again. She would not be able to walk to my computer room and chat with me while I'm busy Facebooking...

I wish her well and may God do what is best for her.
