Ok so last week my mom was watching Makayla while i was at work, and she had to take my Nanny to the doctor bc they had to make sure that the fluid wasnt comming back into her lungs again (she has congestive heart failure). Well everything went fine there, but when they went back to my Nanny's house, my nanny is 87 by the way, she was goin to her bed room to put up her purse...and she fell.
They took her to the hospital and said that her right shoulder is broken in 3 places and her right knee in broken in 2 places.
They were thinking about doin surgery to fix it, but we found out yesterday that she is to old and since she has heart problems the doctor doesnt want to do the surgery bc it would prolly kill her.
So the only other thing to do was to send her home on pain medication with Hospice...they pretty much keep you comfortable at your house if your gonna die soon. (i would never be able to do that job)
So my nanny is all upset bc they sent her home with a Hospice nurse that will be there every day to check on her, but she has to have someone else stay at the house with her bc she in completely imoble on her right side, so she cant even sit up in bed without help, let alone get up and go to the bathroom or anything.
My nanny is very independent so thats really up setting her a lot. She cant do anything on her own anymore, and the doctor said that usually what happens in these types of situations when a person at her age gets bed ridden, she ends up getting a blood clot that ends up killing them.
And he said that if she doesnt get a blood clot that kills her, even if her shoulder and knee heals that she will never be able to walk on that leg again...so its just been a very depressing week...
im off tomorrow so i was gonna go spend some time with her and my mom will be there too.
Jace has to work anyways and im definitly not just gonna stay at home all day long lol
But the doctor said that we will be lucky if shes still with us for christmas...
i guess we'll just have to wait and see

oh gosh tiff, I'm so sorry. That's so hard. Let me know if you need anything at all. I can always watch the baby if you need to go spend time with your nanny.
