strong, sassy & stubborn but ever so sweet grandma

I had scheduled a fluffy, easy, 'wordless wednesday' post.  But the fluffy, wordless wednesday post was cancelled last night.  My sweet, loving, wonderful grandma has been in the hospital for a week today.  If you don't have the pleasure of knowing her, here is a little tidbit.  Grandma Verna is a strong, sassy & stubborn but ever so sweet woman.  I think she would happen to like those describing traits.  {I might,or might not have inherited a few of those famous traits as well, right Husband?!  Kal definitely has might have too...} She loves her children, grandchildren & great grandchildren like none other.  She had a brain aneurysm 19 years ago but refuses to let that define her or her life.       
I am not the best at explaining things (be it medical, re-telling a story, heck, even my very own thoughts) but I will do my best.  The doctors are still unsure of what is wrong/going on with her {and I am pretty sure whatever is going on is not related to her aneurysm so long ago}, which is frustrating in itself.  She went into cardiac arrest on Sunday and then it was decided by her doctors to 'cool' her down so her brain/body could rest and try and prevent any further damage.  I believe it was yesterday that they discovered that her kidneys are not working as they should be either.  They {the doctors} are going to run a few more tests on her heart (again) so we praying for answers.  And peace.  And understanding through all of this.  We do have a caringbridge site set up if you would like to go there for info (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/vernacorbin)
If you can say a prayer for her, and as well as my grandpa, I would be ever so grateful.  I have truly seen the power of prayer firsthand, and know how much it means to those in the thick of heartache & struggles. 
 Thank you in advance for your prayers and kindness!  I know everyone in our family greatly appreciates it!
