Grandmothers hospital visit

Well I was up last night catching up on the latest episode of Glee and V ...till 2 and then I was going to getup and go to practice for Anonymous at 10.
But instead I was awakened by a phone call at 3 from my uncle that my grandmother had been admitted to the hospital. I had just gotten off of the phone with her at 11 when he got there, so luckily she wasn't alone when it happened an hour later. All we knew that that point was that she had gone out of control and fallen. Then we drove 2.5 hrs to her house to take care of the dog and get her overnight bag. By then she had been transferred to UVA from the local hospital so we drove an hour back to Charlottesville.
We got there around 6am I guess. The ambulence had just gotten there. It was very hard to see but after awhile they had her stabalized and I went back and saw her. It wasn't until hours (like 1 in the afternoon) and multiple tests later they determined that she had had a stroke on her left side affecting her right side. But thankfully it seems she still has use of all of her limbs.
Thier getting ready to move her to a room and she'll need some rehab but it would seem that she's out of the woods.
This definately is not great timing, the week of youth production. So it'll be a long couple of days.....
Thank you for your thoughts and
Prayers during this time fo my grandmother, who is still grieving my grandfather through all this (he passed less than a month ago)
