Prayers for my grandmother
Hey, everybody. Long time, no see
My grandmother and pretty much the entirety of my dad's side of my family needs prayers big-time right now. My grandmother had a major stroke last Sunday and right now she's in serious condition in the hospital. She can barely move her right arm and can't move her left arm at all, her speech is pretty slurred and she's having trouble swallowing. Mom and I went up to visit her this afternoon and she spent a good part of the time sleeping; if she was aware that we were there, she didn't show any sign of it.
But the worst part of it is all of the anger between my dad and his brothers and sisters. There's been tension, hurt feelings and cold shoulders between them for a few years now and this situation has exacerbated it. They all ought to be sticking together at a time like this but it seems like all they can do is yell at each other and break further apart.

I will pray, family arguments are tough.
I will certainly be praying.

Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate it. The stroke she had was a pretty rare one (called a "Pons stroke"), and from the sound of things she's not going to get much better. My dad and a few of his siblings met with the doctor this morning and according to him she's only got weeks left. I'm not sure when it's going to happen, but when she's discharged from the hospital she'll be going home with full-time hospice care.

I'm sorry I will continue to pray for her. Is she a Christian?

You know, now that I think about it I don't think so, or if she is she just doesn't attend church anymore. I can't remember my dad ever talking about going to church when he was a kid and the only time he goes to church now is at Christmas. And I know that my mom has mentioned the fact that it's most likely the pastor from our church who would wind up officiating at her funeral.Jesus' Princess wrote:I'm sorry I will continue to pray for her.
