Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Grandma is Home!

Thought I would take a minute and let everyone know that we were able to get Grandma back home after 2 month of searching for answers for her episodes that were causing her to freeze and get weak.

Our final answer was drastically dropping blood pressure. She was dropping 65 points for laying down to standing and about 50 points for sitting to standing!
It was enough to cause these episodes.
We have decided to try a medication to raise her blood pressure some, so that it will not drop to an unacceptable level. She is also slowing down lots, no quick turning around and she is using the walker full time. We are excited to see her stamina increasing everyday
And most of all she is so very excited to be home again. Though we loved having her, we are happy she can keep her Independence for now.
