She finally had it!!!

Hey Everyone!!! Well the kids and i just got back from visiting Gigi in the hospital. Jensen does not like the elevators P.S...I received a call from mom at about 11:15 saying that they wheeled grandma down to the OR at about 11. They would have to prep her and all that good jazz.. Well i still hadn't heard anything from mom OR dad at 2:45. So I called dad and asked him what was going on. All he said to me was when we know something then you will. He ended up calling me back about 10 minutes later and saying that the nurse couldnt find them (dont know where she looked because they hadnt moved) but that grandma was already up in her room. So mom and dad went up there and grandma's nephew Denny was already there. Mom walked in the door and grandma said "well its about time you bring me my glasses, i cant see a thing" Of course.. She had some other visitors also, Neil, Deb, Jennifer and i would assume Jason Jensen came to visit. When i got off work the twinkies and i stopped at a flower shop and got her a little basket with a plant in it.. figure the plants might be better than flowers?? (besides maybe i will end up getting the plant.. HEHEHE) so the kids helped me pick it out and we headded for the hospital. Got there, figured out poor Jensen is NOT a fan of the elevator. Madelyn was very aprehensive of Gigi and her situation. Last night she was crying because she was worried about Gigi. So when we walked in we showed Madelyn what Gigi's new knee looked like (really couldnt see it, it was in some sort of machine to keep it moving and had an ace bandage on it with a HUGE ice pack. But the really cool thing they have is this little device that sucks the blood out of a drainage type thingy (yeah, and i know medical terminology also, nice huh)and filters it and give her the blood back in her arm. its quite cool, so she is getting her own blood back. She was a little out of it.. and as we were leaving she was getting a lecture from a nurse. The nurse had asked her what her pain level was and grandma said about a 4. So the nurse was telling her that she needed to be better at pushing her pain pump that she has. it was rather funny. She had just taken some benadryl so she was a little groggy..

Gigi called not to long ago to tell the kids goodnight and all that good stuff.. quite cute.. Madelyn is still a little concerned but she is doing better... More to come later:)
