My grandma is back in the hospital. It isn't looking good. Between the head injury and the sedation, she isn't the same. She keeps trying to pull her IV out and get out of bed so they have her sedated and tied down. She is being nasty to everyone, and insists that her mom (who dies when I was 11) and her son (who died when my mom was pregnant with me) are in the room. Her brother, who died 10 years ago is also paying her visits.
The Doctors have said that at this point it is up to her. She can either fight and live, or give up and die. Considering that she has been telling people to "leave me alone and just let me die", I don't think this is going to end well.
One of the hardest decisions I have had to make was whether or not to take the boys to Ohio to see her. We decided not to. I want their last memory of her to be a happy one, not of her the way she is now.
Sometimes being the grown up really sucks.
