So I'm just back from 6 hours in the hospital. Here's what happened...
Just before 8:30am, my mum and I both heard a noise from my Granny's room, it sounded like she screamed as she/then she fell. We both rushed through to her room, to find her on the floor, having a fit. Her eyes open, but completely non-responsive, almost rolled back in her head and beginning to foam at the mouth.
We tried to sit her up, at first and upon doing so noticed a massive amount of blood on the floor, we were used to head injuries from when my Granda was around though, so we knew that blows to the head produce a lot of blood.
The fit continued until... It just stopped suddenly. At which point, both my mum and I thought she'd gone, that she'd died. -- She hadn't though, and she started to make a weird snoring kind of noise, we rolled her onto her side.
My mum called 999, and an ambulance arrived shortly after. They gave her head a quick, temporary dressing and gave her some oxygen, which before too long she was starting to fight, which was a good sign.
I went with them in the ambulance, to the hospital, leaving my mum (the driver) to contact her sisters and head up after us - I thought it'd be better to have someone she knew with her, to keep some sense of familiarity.
In the ambulance, she kept trying to take the oxygen mask off, so much so that, eventually, the paramedic told her she could just leave it off, if she wanted and although she was making eye contact by this point, she still wasn't actually responding.
Once at the hospital, I was told to sit and wait, while they got her into a treatment room and got her cleaned up and stuff.
The doctor came out and asked if I was her grand-son, I said I was, and he asked me for some info about what had happened that morning, I told him and told him that she was usually responsive and talkitive, even if what she said didn't always make sense -- She still wasn't talking, at times it looked like she was trying to talk, but no words were actually coming out.
