Thank you all for the warm wishes, they are greatly appreciated.Grandma is out of surgery, and reccovering in ICU. Damage total to this point: black eye, broken thumb, broken ribs, cut throat, multiple more cuts, bruises, etc. She is on a ventilator for the time being due to the throat trama. Here is what we've been able to piece together so far. There are a couple of kids that live next door (around 14 and 17) with their grandparents. My grandmother, being the good soul that she is, befriended these people - sent food over, listened to the kids' problems (abandoned by parents), just being a nice person. One of the boys came over (identified by my grandma) between 11:30 thursday night and 7:30 Friday morning. Somehow he got her in the basement, and proceeded to beat her with a snow shovel. The police detained my grandfather (83, deaf, and walks with a cane) until 2:00 Friday afternoon - gave him a polygraph and everything. The police have questioned the neighbors, and are checking alibis. I know it was someone young because there were too many other things that could have been taken, but weren't. The credit card company has verified that purchases were made on my grandma's card today, but won't release a list of the businesses or addresses to anyone but my grandma and the police.
