I woke up this morning and found Grandma sitting on the couch. She was in a lot of pain so Grandpa took her down the street to the fire station and the EMS took Grandma to Mount Carmel Hospital. I waited anxiously with Mommy and Daddy back at the house for news. Grandpa called and said everything was looking all right, but the Doctor wanted Grandma to stay over night at the hospital so they could run some tests. I was so happy Grandma seemed to be doing better. I missed her and wanted her to come back home.
While waiting for updates on how Grandma was doing, Mother Nature provided a diversion. White flaky stuff started floating down from Heaven. Mommy and Daddy told me it was SNOW! Mommy took me outside so I could experience it! I grabbed a snowflake, but when I opened my hand it was gone! I knew right away snow was a magical gift from God. It snowed all day and soon the ground, trees and houses were all covered in white.
Later in the day Grandpa came back to the house to pick up some things to take back to Grandma in the hospital. Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Deane stopped by to visit. I showed off a little. I crawled all over the floor really fast and showed them how I can stand up by pulling up on a chair. Although the circumstances weren’t the best, I was so happy to meet them. After they left, Grandpa drove us to the hospital to visit Grandma. Ice, sleet, snow, hospital, nothing was going to stop me from visiting with my Grandma! Aunt Gayle, Uncle Matt, Michaella, and Jakob joined us there. It didn’t matter that we were in a hospital; it was still wonderful to be together again. The test results indicated Grandma had pancreatitis. Grandma was feeling much better, and convinced the Doctor to release her from the hospital. She promised she would come back the next day to have more blood tests done. An early Christmas present…Grandma back home with us!
I had a crying fit on the way back from the hospital. I was hungry and wanted out of the car seat. I couldn’t understand why Mommy and Daddy weren’t getting my message. I cried as loud as I could but they insisted on waiting until we got back home. I’m sorry I made the trip home from the hospital miserable for everybody, but a baby has needs!
It was a blessing that we were all back home for my second day and night at Grandma and Grandpa’s house in Pickerington, Ohio. I slept like a baby. (Duh…, how else would you expect me to sleep??)
