I am so sorry that your granny is ill and had a heart attack. She would have had it in the car too and then at least they were watching her. They often induce a coma which is protective for her. They will test her over several days to see when it is safe to bring her out of the coma. There is nothing you could have done you really did the right thing. I hope she can come out of this soon. You just have to wait and see as it takes time. I will think positive thoughts for you and your granny.
