My 89 year old Grams had knee surgery today and came through that wonderfully. It was only after she had been in her room a bit that she coded. She stopped breathing and after they brought her back she was unresponsive to pain and wasn't waking up. She coded a second time and poof, she was all of the sudden able to answer questions by blinking and was able to make fists with both hands.
She is still on a ventilator tonight because the doctor said that with the broken ribs from the CPR a ventilator would make it more comfortable to breath. The doctor also said that she would have NEVER thought this would be the outcome. That my Grams is a crazy-strong miracle. (paraphrased)
1st my mom and now my Grams. Cats. I think I'm going to take up skydiving since I know that I will live through anything!
BTW - Alan said he was not worried. "Grams is a tough old bird and nothing can keep her down. A German tank." He loves her!
If you would like to send a card my Grams, Eileen Roehl, she is at Pratt Regional Medical Center, 200 Commodore, Pratt, KS 67124.

Note that you did not credit The Dog in the photo, so you should rectify that. Right now.
