Harrisburg Hospital

I went to bed last night around 03:00 hours and woke up at 05:35 hours when my cell phone rang. It was Robby telling me that they were back at the station now and that the fire was still going strong and that they had dispatched for Tanker 29 to go down. He said they dumped 12 loads of water during the 11 hours they were down there. I then went back to sleep. I woke up again around 06:30 hours when my cell phone rang again. It was my brother and I was surprised that he was calling me this early. I answered and he told me that both my grandfather and grandmother were in the ER at Harrisburg Hospital. He told me to go wake my mother up and let her know. So I got up and went out to the living room and woke my mother up and told her that her parents were in the ER. I then gave her my cell phone so she could talk to Josh. She hung up and said that we had to head down to the ER as Josh could only be with one of them as they were in two different slots. I called Carol real quick and asked if she could cover for me today as I had to take my mother down to the hospital since her parents and my grandparents were in the ER. She said she had plans and asked me if Sue was going to be around and I said no, I knew she wasn't going to be. She then said she would give Kim a call to see if she would be around. My mother then tooka quick shower and we left around 07:40 hours and headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital in my car. We got down there and I parked in the ER parking lot and we went inside and I got us back into the ER and we found my brother sitting with my grandfather in bed 14. I talked to him while both my mother and my brother went over to my grandmothers slot. I then stayed with my grandfather and he told me that when he woke up this morning, he did not feel right, he felt dizzy when he was up and moving around. So he decided to take his blood pressure and his pulse was 189. At that point he woke my brother up who brought both of them to the ER around 04:00 hours. He got in almost right away since it delt with his heart. While they were waiting, apparently my grandmother passed out from being dehyrdated, so they stuck her in slot 19. About an 1-1/2 hours after we got down there, they released my grandmother and she came back over and I made her sit down in the chair while the heart doctor talked to my grandfather. They were going to addmit him for the weekend while they changed his blood pressure medication. My mother told my brother that she would go home with him and my grandmother so she could me with her and I said I would stay with my grandfather until he got into a room. So they then left and then the waiting game began. We sat in the ER until about almost 14:30 hours and then the moved him over into the advanced addmission unit. We were then in there until about 16:30 hours when the came in and said that they got a room for him and he would be going up shortly. He finally got in a room close to 17:00 hours and he got there just in time for dinner. I stayed a little bit longer and then left so I could head on home. I stopped at Pizza Hut and grabbed diner, the first meal I had had all day. I then headed on up through. I stopped at Giant and picked up a gallon of Diet Iced Tea. I then swung by the fire house to see if Bubba was there yet or not. As I turned down the alley, Robby had turned in at the other end and we pulled in at the fire house at the same time. We went in and Troy was sitting in the office chair. We talked and shot the shit until around 20:40 hours and then we all left and I headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and soon going to go to bed as I have to get up early tomorrow to go to work.
