I was about to make a joke that we should put out an APB on Grandma and Grandpa because a) Grandma wasn't commenting on the blog and b) she hadn't returned my emails this week. It turns out that, yes, it does take an actual medical emergency to keep her off this thing:
In her words:
Monday night I was awakened with a severe heaviness in my chest. My heart went out of rhythm and was pounding. It's called atrofibrillation. Grandpa called 911 and they thought I should go to the hospital. I just came home this morning, Friday. They put me on medicine and because there are some serious side affects to it, they had to monitor me to make sure it would work for me. I had to take the pills five times (twice a day) before I could leave. It is supposed to help regulate the rhythm and keep that from happening again, hopefully. Tests showed that my heart was not damaged. I am fine now. I got so bored lying in bed and being hooked up to that IV thing.

Mom, We are glad you are home and OK. I am re-stating in front of everyone that you are not to go off your meds without the Dr. managing it. You must promise also that you will call the Dr. before your scheduled appt if you feel bad. I love you
I promise.
I also promise to let you all know the next time. Steve asked me if I would like it if he were in the hospital for three days and didn't let me know? I would not like it.
I love my family!
