MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT MY GRANDPA PASSED AWAY RECENTLY... I WANTED TO SHARE SOMETHINGS WITH YOU THAT I HAD MADE FOR HIM OVER THE YEARS....
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED..... ON HIS BIRTHDAY JANUARY 14.. HE TURNED 77, 1AM ON THE 15TH HE WAS VERY WEAK AND WE CALLED THE AMBULANCE HE WAS ADMITTED INTO CRITICAL CARE HE HAD PHEMONIA AND THE FLU... HE WAS THERE 2 WEEKS... WHEN HE CAME HOME WE THOUGHT HE WAS GETTING BETTER (THE DOCTOR DID NOT TELL US ANYTHING) HE REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON OR WHAT TO DO.. TO GIVE YOU SOME KIND OF IDEA HE THOUGHT IT WAS 1995..
ON FEBRUARY 11, 6AM > > > > THANKS FOR EVERYTHING ;) I WAS GRANDPA'S GIRL... THE WHOLE THING IS SOOO JUST UNBELIEVABLE RIGHT NOW... HE WOKE UP AND HAD SAID HE HAD TO GO TO THE BATHROOM, BUT HE COULDN'T WALK... SO GRANDMA HANDED HIM A URNEL HE DROPPED IT AND STARTED SLIDDING OUT OF BED ON TO THE FLOOR AND GOT HIS ARM STUCK BETWEEN THE BOX SPRINGS AND FRAME OF THE BED ON THE WAY DOWN... I COULDN'T GET HIM OUT, BECAUSE OF THE POSITION OF HIS ARM.. I WOULD HAVE HAD TO BREAK IT.. TO GET HIM OUT...SO I HAD MY GRANDMA CALL 911.. HE HAS FELL BEFORE AND THEY COME AND HELP ME GET HIM BACK UP... NO BIG DEAL. WELL, I COULD TELL RIGHT AWAY I WASN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET HIM UP, BECAUSE HE HAD TO BE PICKED STRAIGHT UP SO IT WAS ONLY LIKE A MINUTE BEFORE WE CALLED.. HE DIDN'T HIT HIS HEAD OR ANYTHING AND HE WAS BREATHING, BUT NOT RESPONDING TO ANYTHING SO I STAYED THERE AND WAS TALKING TO HIM SAYING I HAD HELP COMING.. THEY WERE HERE PRETTY QUICK... I WALKED DOWN THE HALL OPENED THE DOOR TOOK THEM DOWN THE HALL AND THEY PICKED HIM STRAIGHT UP, AS SOON AS THEY GOT HIM UP HE TOOK ONE BREATH AND QUIT BREATHING, THEY CARRIED HIM HIM DOWN THE HALL TO THE LIVINGROOM SO THEY WOULD HAVE MORE ROOM TO WORK..I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED TIL THEY GOT HIM DOWN THERE AND I SAID "OMG HE'S NOT BREATHING" THEY HAD ME LEAVE THE ROOM, BUT I JUST STOOD IN THE DOOR WAY... THEY TRIED FOR 45 MINUTES... HIS HEART HAD STOPPED AND HE WASN'T BREATHING ON HIS OWN.. I JUST CAN'T HELP BUT THINK IT WAS BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET HIM UP, BECAUSE HE WAS BENT OVER AT AN ANGLE THAT IT WAS PUTTING PRESSURE ON HIS LUNGS AND HEART... SO THATS REALLY MESSING WITH ME RIGHT NOW...
I HAD TO TAKE SOME INSURANCE PAPERS TO THE DOCTOR TO FILL OUT AND I LEARNED HE HAD HAD A HEART ATTACK... SO IT WASN'T BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET HIM UP... THAT MADE ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER... BUT I HAVE LOST THE ONLY DAD I EVER KNEW... I WAS GRANDPA'S GIRL
