Forrest had been at the hospital since early afternoon so we insisted that he went home and the five of us stayed on for visiting time. Grandma was upset at having to stay in hospital but the three boys cheered her up with their chat while Janes and I got her some biscuits and magazines. She was tired but calm when we left, and we sat down to our roast beef dinner exactly two hours later than planned! And there was me just thinking that everything was going fairly smoothly. I just hope that Grandma is ok.

Gang aft agley!
Well the rest of the evening did not go according to plan! Forrest took Grandma to the hospital this afternoon to change her meds (he found out that they had been dispensed wrongly, which we will of course be investigating further) and because as a result she was feeling none too well. By tea time he phoned to tell us that she had been diagnosed with a resulting heart issue and is being kept in overnight to monitor that her (now) correct meds are working and to have further tests tomorrow. We switched off both ovens, packed an overnight bag for her and headed to the hospital. Thank goodness Forrest found out the mistake - he is a star! I was so proud of him and Jamie as they discussed Grandma's health problems with the nurses, but what about all the wee old ladies who don't have people watching out for them?
