Everybody could use some O2

Yes it's true, can we get a Hallelujah!! Grandma did go to the heart doctor yesterday and was prescribed O2. The doctor first called her last week and basically just said that he needed to talk with her and that her appointment was on Tuesday. So she went in and her oxygen was stating at 72. Now lets keep in mind that really anything stating under 90 is an red flag! 72 is definetly NOT GOOD! So I think that that really confirmed to the doctor that she REALLY does need it. We really have to thank LeeAnn who helped this doctor get with the program to consider grandma for oxygen. All this time I have been saying that she has needed it, but really I think that the doctors just think, "who cares what Marie thinks!" Well I have worked in the medical field so some time know that I DO KNOW when someone needs oxygen, I'm not an idiot. I do patient care everyday, I freakin know a lot more than people [grandma's doctors] give me credit for!

But a big thank you to LeeAnn and everyone else who cares so much for grandma and her well-being. She and the rest of us will never forget everything that you all have done for us. I honestly believe that with this oxygen, she'll have more energy to do things just has basic conversations. My grandma is one AmAzInG person that hopefully I can accomplish just as much as she has in my own life. Her 80th birthday is coming up and I just hope that she has the best birthday ever!
