Bad News
My paternal grandmother has gone into a diabetic coma following an overdose of durians last week. No it’s not funny. She has apparently been asleep since last Sunday and my aunt finally panicked and called an ambulance this morning. The doctor says she’s very strong inside, and should wake up anytime now.
Right now she just lies there waving her arms around with her eyes closed.
I’ve just gotten back from visiting the old nyonya matriach and got a shock. The flesh has withered from her bones. She’s like a skeleton lying down in her bed. It seems like she’s semi-conscious because she acknowledged my voice and presence by nodding her head when i asked her if she could hear me. I stroked her hair and held her hand while I told her about my week. And then just when I was about to leave, she opened her eyelids briefly before drifting off again.
My family thinks she might not make it this time. Wedding plans may be canceled.
