Family

I am sure most of you have heard about my grandmother, Mattie Stovall. She had to have emergency surgery on Sept. 25 to have a hole that had ruptured in her colon patched. She was recovering good. She went to a nursing home in Hartwell for Rehab and Physical therapy. My mom & grandpa was not satisfied with the care she was receiving and she started running a high fever. On Oct. 19, she was moved to a new facility in Anderson. Oct. 20, she had a rough night. They did a chest x-ray and found pneumonia setting up in one of her lungs. She went to the hospital on Friday, October 21 to get treated for pneumonia, while hospitalized she developed a urine infection and then staff infection. October 31 she received a feeding tube. She has not been eating or drinking and her strength is extremely weak. Nov. 5, she was transported to hospice house. The doctor had told us that he had done everything he could do. Nov. 9, she pulled the feeding tube. She must had known we were having a hard time deciding whether to leave it in or not. She has not ate or drank in 7 weeks. She is now in God's hands. Mother nature is just taking its run as to how long she is with us. She seems to be resting peacefully. She is showing several signs on what they indicate during the last one to two weeks during a person's life. We all need your prayers! Prayer is all that can be done at this point. We appreciate all the phone calls and visits thus far.
