 okay guys so i don't really know where to or how to begin this video i'm just gonna give you guys the story of what happened um first off i know we said like two days ago that we were gonna be taking a break i didn't know how long the break was gonna be i still don't know at this point i just feel like i'm strong enough or comfortable enough to explain what happened so that's exactly what i'm gonna do so it it's honestly weird and what bothers me the most is the night before the incident happened the night before the incident happened i wasn't able to sleep i was tossing and turning in bed until like four in the morning i was literally dripping in sweat and i was just thinking about my grandmother the whole time um something didn't feel right so that's what bothers me the most about like the whole situation was that feeling the night before i knew something was wrong but she was perfectly fine up until the incident happened but something rubbed me the wrong way that whole night and that's what bothers me about the whole thing um so basically the next morning um we had the maintenance guy come in fix the fan the fan was acting up and cool maintenance guy me and him were talking he's older um we started talking about like his health problems and stuff like that and i chimed in i started telling him about you know my grandparents that they went through like some of their stuff um so we were just having a conversation about that i could do not after he left um i got up on a chair to tighten up the uh the bowl that protects the light for the fan he left it a little loose so i got on the chair and i was like tightening it up as i'm tightening it up um my grandfather calls me on facetime and he immediately says we're going to be going to the hospital so i obviously freak out i'm like what are you talking about um he tells me your grandmother fell down the stairs now the stairs she fell down they weren't stairs inside the house they are concrete stairs in our backyard like you guys can imagine how hard concrete is um we didn't see her fall down like my grandfather didn't see her fall down or anything he was actually inside the house and her um like a stumble and like kind of like a bang but he thought it was the garbage cans um falling in the backyard because it was windy that there so we don't know how many flight um not how many flight how many stairs she fell down we're assuming three four stairs like the just based on where she had hit the cement on the ground um obviously there was like blood there so we're thinking she fell down like three or four flight i keep saying flight she keeps falling down she fell down three or four stairs and then she hit the concrete at the bottom doing so you know but back to the facetime call i'm sorry that this is all over the place um so my grandfather tells me yeah we're going to be going to the hospital she fell down the stairs and like i said they were concrete stairs um there was already a cop at the scene he grabbed the phone from my grandfather and was telling me she's fine don't rush over here take your time she just looks like she broke her nose um that's really it now my anxiety is all over the place my heart is like beating crazy he's telling me not to rush but obviously i did i lived like 15 minutes away so i sped over there as fast as i could we get there the ambulance is already there the area put her in the ambulance and they were just about to drive off with her so i followed the ambulance um they had to stop like two or three times on the way to the hospital because apparently she was throwing up in the ambulance um so they kept coming in and out of the truck you know they had like two guys in with her in the truck the driver came out he was speaking to me because i kept asking why are we stopping he was explaining to me that she's throwing up that's kind of normal when people hit their head um you know the disoriented they get dizzy so they start throwing up um she was also talking um she wasn't like saying she wasn't making sense basically to say the least you would ask her questions and she would say something completely different like i think my grandfather tried asking her where does it hurt where did you hit yourself and she just started calling out um she called out my name she called out my sister's name we end up um finally getting to the hospital i had to wait maybe like 20 minutes to 30 minutes before they actually let me back into the emergency room area where i can meet with my grandfather and we can just be with her so we were in the trauma department because she had some head trauma but they were asking us questions and stuff like that um this isn't the first time she's fell but this is definitely the first time it was this serious she's had light falls in the past but nothing that would even make it close to even go into the hospital or even think about going to the hospital she would just like literally fall um we thought it was just you know her age um she does have blood pressure problems so sometimes her blood pressure would and that would be the cause of like you know the light fall or like the little stumble but she takes medication for that grandfather checks her blood pressure every single day but something was off we knew it was something more than just like her blood pressure and like you know her age so they went to go get a cat scan that same morning that she felt oddly enough um just to find out what's going on with her head they wanted to do a cat scan of the brain um as we're in the trauma department and they're trying to stabilize her because it was honestly very scary i'll get to that point but um while we're in the trauma department trying to handle all that my grandfather gets a call from the doctor that she went to go see that morning for her cat scan for her check up and my grandfather had explained to her doctor that she fell and that we're in the trauma department emergency room right now and you know obviously the doctor was devastated as well he's like i just saw her she was just fine but as far as the results of the cat scan of that morning he said that he sees a little tiny i'm just going to call it a spec because i'm not no medical person i'm not going to get into the details and i don't want to say anything wrong but there's like a little tiny spec of something that didn't seem right very very very minimal um he said i think that maybe in the previous months she might have had a mild heart attack a mild stroke um and that is the reason why she's been like stumbling every now and then and like her left side is like kind of weak so it kind of like started making sense so we thought the reason she had fell down the stairs this time was because she might have had a stroke or a mild heart attack again and that caused her to just faint and hit the ground so on to the scary part which was when they were you know they brought her into the emergency room um they're trying to stabilize her they're trying to figure out what's going on with her do some scans and all that um they took her to get a CAT scan her head again showed the same same spec as the one in the morning they compared the one from her doctor so the one they took at the hospital and it said it's relatively the same um they just didn't know if it would stay like that because you know her head is getting swollen and all that because being that she fell she ended up getting a facial fracture on the side of her face she has a spinal fracture on two parts of the top of her spine and a fracture on like the lower end of her spine so she has fractures all over the place her face was like really really swollen and the scariest part was when they're trying to stabilize her um they're trying to give her all these meds for you know pain her IV and stuff like that um she wasn't reacting well with the the pain medication her blood pressure ended up dropping really really low like every couple of minutes i'm talking about it was extremely high i'm talking like 200 over i forgot the bottom number but it was like really high and it dropped down to like 180 then 160 120 80 60 40 it was dropping dramatically um and i'm seeing that i'm watching the machine and i'm watching like every couple of minutes her blood pressure is just dropping and her heart rate is increasing her heart rate was like 120 beats a minute it's insane um so as i see her stuff starting to drop and her heart rate going up i'm like i'm like something's not okay so i run out of the room and i grab any doctor that i could find so i ended up grabbing a doctor the doctor basically suctioned all the blood that she was like letting go from her mouth because they did have the incubator she did have like you know the breathing tube she had that in her that was just for precaution her lungs were working fine but that was just precaution so you know he suctioned all the fluid out of her mouth he ended up doing something with the pain med i think he like lowered the dosage by a lot he ended up giving her another medication that would make her blood pressure go up it went back up again this is a complete random doctor that i pulled from the side this is not even his patient he was just helping me as a doctor should but i'm very grateful for that doctor so we ended up getting her semi stable um they ended up sedating her so she can relax and you know just get her at a good heart rate and blood pressure um after that they were trying to see if they can take her up to the icu once they stabilized her and all that but again right when they were about to do that her blood pressure started to drop again so at this point i have a bunch of negative thoughts in my head i'm sorry for the the break guys i'm trying to get myself together but yeah i kept having negative thoughts in my head i'm like this isn't looking good so the doctors they kept on you know working with her trying different things her blood pressure ended going back up to being you know somewhat stable but her blood pressure has to show consistent um basically it has to be at a good range for a good hour before they can move her up to the icu she ended up doing that they ended up moving her to the icu but before that when they were trying to stabilize her and her blood pressure was being a problem the doctor told me that they would have to do i think it was called an e-line or uh i don't know i think that's what it was called an e-line where basically they put a line in your main artery to monitor your blood pressure by the second rather than every couple minutes so we had to sign a consent form for that because there obviously are risks with that there is risk of like infection there is risk of um poking a lung apparently and if you poke a lung the lung can collapse and then that's going to affect her breathing but it was either right here or down in the groin area but in the groin area there is a much much higher risk of infection so my grandfather and i we decided to just keep it up here and we signed the consent form so they prepped her they got everything together and um basically to say the least the lady the doctor was attempting to put the line in she said i was he would have got to the artery but i wasn't able to get the line in but she was like as i noticed that i was doing it her blood pressure started going back up to where it needed to be so the doctor was like i immediately just stopped right there because after three attempts i wasn't able to get it and i saw her blood pressure going up she said i just decided to stop it right there there's no need for it if it were my parent i wouldn't do it to my own parent basically is what she said so she basically patched her up there was no need for the line anymore thank god um then from there she showed consistent blood pressure for about an hour they ended up taking her out to the ICU and she's been in the ICU for the past three days um and honestly at this point guys it's honestly just a waiting game the doctor said that as far as her fractures all over spine face that there seems to be no need for surgery anywhere so that's honestly good news thank god um she does have to wear a neck brace for right now we don't know how long she's still gonna be in the hospital she's still like in and out of it she hasn't really woken up per se so technically she's been asleep since today is tuesday she's been asleep since friday um they took the sedation off of her they ended up just leaving the pain killers on her because obviously she's probably in a crazy amount of pain we told the doctor that we think she's not gonna wake up if she has this pain killer on so they reduced it as they reduced it she started opening up her eyes i think like a half hour after that um she would open them like slightly and then she would like go back to sleep basically um she is moving all of her limbs you know both arms both legs so that was a good sign off the jump she's been doing that for the past couple of days so we know that she's okay to move but it's just a matter of getting her to wake up and you know as i said we took the dosage down on the pain killer she started opening up her eyes a bit the doctor said i want to take her off the pain killers for an hour and just completely on nothing and see how that goes so he ends up doing that a half hour into that hour she ends up opening up her eyes more and she starts moving more and she's listening to commands she's squeezing my mom's hand she's moving the arm that we tell her to move if you guys hear the shower that is jenice i let her sleep into the and she's getting ready now because she's been up with me you know night and day um liya she's been listening to commands here and there she wakes up slightly um and pretty much that's that as far as this morning the doctor ordered that she's been breathing on her own um so there's no need for the breathing to so they're they're going to discuss if she really needs the breathing tube or not um they're going to monitor her breathing a little more but her lungs are at a hundred percent they've always been so they might take the breathing tube out and just leave you know like the hose that they put like right here and it goes behind your ears um they might just put that on they also cut her off the painkillers completely she is not on any painkillers as of this morning and we're going on about almost three hours without painkillers my grandfather called me not too long ago and she opened up both of her eyes and she was actually blinking and like looking around and stuff like that um and she was moving so it looks like overall we are heading in the right direction that's really it guys I mean at this point the doctor even told me when I was at the hospital yesterday he's like it's just a waiting game he said you know we're older people whenever there's like head trauma it may take them a couple of days to wake up rather than someone who's young it may take them a couple of hours um so he said at this point it's just a waiting game take it day by day but he was like overall we are heading in the right direction just very very slowly but he was like overall there's it's good there's nothing to worry about um they ended up taking chest x-rays of her just to monitor her lungs again checks x-rays came back good they did multiple cat scans on her again to make sure that her head hasn't changed everything stayed the same so that's great news there's no brain bleeding or anything like that so overall everything's heading in the right direction um my goal at this point or my wish is to have her home by christmas last thing i want to say closing out this video is i've seen all the comments um all the dms i've got friends that texted me even though i said not to i appreciate it i really do all the comments that you guys left in the prayers it goes so well reading your guys's comments changed my i guess i don't i don't know if it's mental health or just i guess my state of mind because i was thinking very negative um i was very hopeful but the way everything had started i was thinking very negative but you guys change that a lot i think that's really all there is left to say guys at this point like i said it's just a waiting game we're gonna see what happens i honestly can't thank you guys enough um one for understanding and two for supporting me and my family during this time i think that's really that's all i have to say overall i love you guys so much and i'll see you guys in the next video looks like things are heading in the right direction
