Grandma B.

Well, our plans for today changed. The day started out at 4:45 am when Grandma B. came and knocked on our door because she was having chest pains and she was out of nitro. I got up and got her another nitro and took her blood pressure, which was extremely low. She was still in pain after the medicine, so I called my dad (they were out of town, which is why we were staying with Grandma). He called the doctor, and they wanted us to take her to the hospital. Grandma kept saying we should just go back to bed! So Aaron drove Grandma to the hospital, and I stayed behind because Wyatt was still sleeping. Mom and Dad headed back a day early from their trip, and they went to the hospital and sent Aaron home. Aaron, Wyatt and I went to visit Grandma after lunch, and that's when the doctor pulled us aside and told us that Grandma's heart is failing. We've known for awhile that she has congestive heart failure - where she builds up fluid and it makes it hard for her heart to pump it all. But the doctor thinks she has had other damage to her heart, so it's really running on 10%. That's how amazing Grandma B. is - she can do all she does on 10%! So, not great news, but she is happy that they aren't recommending surgery. She is feeling better, and they are going to work on changing her medications so they can get her blood pressure under control and keep her out of pain. She gets to come home tomorrow, and then we all get to spoil her. :)

I already did my Day 6 workout this morning... level 1 is so much nicer!
