When it rains...

I wrote about the family gathering yesterday at my uncle's house. My cousin Adrian brought his mom, my Aunt Deannie who is sister to my uncle to see the cousins from Virginia. Deannie also has Alzheimers, but her daughter lives with her so she doesn't have to live in a nursing home. Adrian called us the morning saying his sister Cathy found Deannie in the bathroom and had fallen. She got her in bed, but Deannie was unresponsive when we got there. She didn't have any obvious injuries, but we knew something was very wrong. Cathy checked on her about 2am, so she fell between 2 and 8am. They called the rescue squad which took her to our small local hospital. Just got word she has a brain bleed and they're air lifting her to a larger hospital. I guess she hit her head when she fell. So sad. She looked so much like my mother just before my mother died of Alzheimers a few years ago. Thank you to everyone for your prayers and concern.
