On Saturday, while we were in Louisville, we received a frantic call from Julie and Carolyn that Mom had a heart attack or something. The EMT's were at the house stabilizing her for transport. Dad's neighbor's were there to take him to the hospital.
Actually - she had a cerebral hemorrhage. Dad had to give her CPR until the paramedics came. How frightening for him! At the hospital, she was put on a ventilator and the staff worked hard to stabilize her. We contacted Matt and asked him to drive to Ft Myers to be with his Grandpa. Joe and I rushed back from Louisville to Cincinnati, Julie and I had decided to drive to Florida. Before we reached home, I received a call that the family needed to come to Florida, and to hurry. Bobby and Ann Bravard drove over from Cape Coral and stayed with Dad most of the day. Matt arrived about the same time as Sue and Chuck, around 5:00 PM. Elaine arrived around 11:00 pm.
We left Cincinnati at 5:00 PM Saturday - Curt, Julie, Leah, Tyler, Lauren, Joe and I. We arrived in Ft. Myers at 10:30 AM Sunday, spent 5 minutes checking in to the hotel, and left for the hospital. We were there before 11:00. We all spent some time with Mom, as the rest of the family arrived. First Carolyn and Stan, then Bill and Sharon.
