Please keep us in your thoughts/prayers/whatever.

She’s the third most important person in my life, after my wife and son, of course. My mom died when I was 11 and my stepfather was abusive and my grandma got custody of me at age 14. She’s basically like a mom to me and I don’t know what I’d do without her.

A TIA is often called a “warning stroke” as it can be an indicator of a future major stroke. My grandma is in good shape now but they’re keeping her in the hospital overnight for more tests.

Just sent one upstairs now. Hope she recovers fully and has no repeats.
