Grandpa update

Well, my grandpa had another code blue, but was revived again. He has some sort of heart damage, and they’re doing a scan now to check for a pulmonary embolysis. They plan on running a heart catheterization tomorrow, but he’s also scheduled for dialysis tomorrow.

He’s not functioning like he was just a few weeks ago. It looks like he’ll need permanent assistance for just basic needs like bathing and using the bathroom from now on. In any case, prognosis is not looking too good.

My mom seems exhausted, and everyone else is too.

    Rick, has your mom been spending all her time at the hospital with your grandpa? I know how hard that can be- I’ll remember to pray for her, too.
    How old is your grandpa? I’m so sorry that things have gone so badly for him! He’ll be in our prayers….

    My mom, grandma, uncles, and Kenny have been taking shifts so that someone is always with him. He’s 79.

    Wow. That’s too bad. We’ll be praying for him and all your family. Thanks for keeping us updated.
