Last week it seemed that my Grandpa Crosby's health took a turn for the worse. The doctors told us that he should be transferred to assisted living. He refused, and will not even speak of being separated from Grandma. If it is possible to live on one heart and one brain, they do.
Then, just as everyone was focusing on his needs, my Grandma had a stroke. This was very upsetting for me, as you can imagine. My Grandma Crosby, as most of you know, has had a significant impact on my life. I love her dearly.
The stroke was on the left side of her brain, causing some paralysis to her right side and making it difficult to speak. My understanding is that she was unconscious for most of the first day.
I am happy to report that she is recovering very well! She has regained feeling in her right arm and leg. She has smiled and is speaking better. It will be a long road and they will both need to be in assisted living at the least. Please pray that they can be transferred together.
The Great Depression - War - Children - Work - Retirement. These hounds could not tear them apart - let us stop poor health at the door as well.
