Grandma Risser's status

As some of you may know, Grandma's not been feeling well the past few days.  She was taken to ER this morning by her home teacher.  Gordon had tried to take her the night before but she deferred (so mom).  They've decided to keep her over night for further observations as her blood pressure was low and her electrolytes are off.  I just spoke to her by phone and she told me she's feeling much better.  

I'm home sick as well but Toni, Michele, Jeff and Gordon all arrived at the hospital to be with her; Becky and April stayed in touch by phone.   Michele was the first to arrive and apparently when Mom tried to stand she passed out and Michele had to catch her (good catch Michele!!!).  I'm so grateful for my family to jump in to help without hesitation.  Big love and hugs to you all.  And I'm sure Grandma would appreciate your prayers ( and you can toss one in for me also).  For now, best to contact your parents to find out her current status.  With the size of this ever growing clan, she'd be fielding phone calls all day and still not get to all of us.  

As an aside, I was reading the March 09  issue of Real Simple and ironically they had a piece on visits to the ER.  It gave some good thoughts but also talked about about how everyone should carry a medical information card with them.  They had a link to the magazine that you could go to download it.  They also had one for children.  Toni, April and I all have subscriptions so I'm sure all of us would be happy to download a copy and send one to you if you'd like it.  Love to all and be well.
