Yesterday at 3 pm, I got a phone call from my mother.  She said that there was something wrong with my grandmother's heart and that she was being life-flighted to Columbus, which is two hours from here.  I don't drive and my partner was out of town because he had to oversee a funeral, plus his cell phone's reception sucks.  So I called him and left him a message; I was basically stuck.  So I went online to find some distraction and I ran into a guy who lives down the street.  He told me that my uncle, who also lives down the street, was on his way home, so I figured I might as well get a ride with him to Columbus.  

I found out that Grandma's aorta had torn and she was drowning in her own blood.  My uncle and I, along with my other uncle and a cousin, made it to Columbus where five other family members were waiting; my partner showed up about an hour later.  After surgery, the doctor told us that she was in stable condition and that all the signs looked good.  

My partner and I decided to go home at about 1 am; after about an hour, my uncle called and said that Grandma's heart stopped, but they got it restarted.  They're going to keep her chest open for a couple of days so that they can keep her heart going.

Grandma is the healthiest person in the family, but she's also the most stubborn.  She told us that her throat had swollen up and she couldn't breathe, but she ignored all of us when we told her to go to the hospital.  If you please, we need all the help we can get right now.  Any prayers and energy will be most appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to read all this,
Christophe

Thank you all for your help.  She's still in stable condition, no better, but no worse either, which is good enough for now.  As long as she doesn't get any worse, she still has a chance to recover.  

We went back to the hospital today and we all got a chance to go into recovery and see her.  She looks okay, just a little swollen.  My mom talked to her, and although Grandma is sedated and can't talk or see, Mom said that her heart rate seemed to respond to what she was saying; she said she even thought she saw her smile.

Again, on behalf of my entire family, I thank you all.  Her name is Peggy, by the way.

Grandma passed away today around 4 pm.  I'm handing it ok; I know she died peacefully and painlessly in her sleep.  My family seems to be holding it together, too.  

I felt like she was nearby earlier, as if she was passing through on her way to the Otherworld.  I'll miss her, but I know I'll see her again someday.

Thank you all for your thoughts and energy; it really helped us all pull through.  

In love and light,
Christophe
