Back At Home; Grandma Kiser
Just before our return back home, the hospital in Delta, Colorado called my Mom and informed us that Grandma Kiser had a significant stroke this evening. She was found in a parking lot of a restaurant slumped over, leaning against the steering column, the car still running. The friend she was having dinner with found her and immediately called for medical help. It is presumed that she wasn't there too long and that the quick administration of treatment will prevent irreparable brain damage from developing ... and thank heavens the stroke didn't occur while she was traveling on the road. The initial report from the hospital is that Grandma is responsive and can speak, but is unable to move any part of the right hand side of her body except for her big toe. She can talk, but her speech is slurred. Mom and Dad are driving over tomorrow after they pick up Aunt Anadeane from the airport in the morning. Bryan is going to drive over too. Grandma turned 90 last September and is fiercely independent. I hope she makes a full recovery, but it will likely involved several months of physical therapy.
