Luckily we didn't actually need the defibrillator, but we probably should have had one on hand when we surprised Great-grandmother. My great aunt, Marcia, picked us up at the airport and drove us to great g&g's house. Great-grandaddy was in our the secret. When we knocked on the door we were all set with the video camera rolling and everything, but GGdaddy answered and said she was in the shower. We went into the living room to wait and GGdaddy went to tell GGmother that Marcia was there with something to show her. As she walked down the hallway, GGmother shouted, "Marcia, I'm not very presentable!" "That's okay!" returned Marcia.
Well, Momma and I were standing in the room and she took about 2 steps in and just stopped and stared. After standing still for a couple seconds in her bathrobe and towel-wrapped hair, she sat down in the corner chair with her mouth hanging open and kept on staring! Later she told us that she'd been thinking about us so much recently she thought she was hallucinating. GGmother was completely surprised and overwhelmed, it was perfect! And it's all on film :)
