Prayer for My Grandpa

Post by Sunshine »

Hey guys,

My grandpa's health isn't very good. He had cancer several years ago and now it's coming back. He also has a lung disease that is affecting his appetite. He's getting really weak from not eating enough. Simply walking across a room makes him really tired (they have a small house). He was suppose to have an oxygen tank installed in their house yesterday, but when the people came to install it, he refused to let them put it in. He's basically refusing all help from anyone at this point. :(

I'm not sure if he believes anything as far as religion goes. He and my grandma haven't gone to church much in the past, but when they did, they went to a Methodist Church.

Please pray for him, as well as my grandma. This must be really hard on her as well as him.

It's really scary, especially not knowing if my grandpa is saved or not.

So, some of you may recall that our(Sunny and my) grandpa is in poor health. Well we just got the news that Dad's having a spiritual conversation with my grandpa right now, which is like, the biggest miracle ever. In all 20 some years they've been married, Dad and Mom haven't been able to get that far to my knowledge.

So yeah, please pray if you would, since as I type this they are speaking. \:D/

Another update on our grandpa:

This morning my grandma called us, [we're at a conference about an hour or so away from home] and basically said that she called an ambilence 3:30 a.m. to take Grandpa to the hospital. She said that he's been acting a little childish lately, like he isn't thinking right. At night when he gets up to go to the bathroom, he's been walking too fast, and fallen several times. I haven't seen my grandpa for a while, but my dad said that he saw lots of bruises on Grandpa's arms, and such. Last night, he seemed to be gasping for air, so Grandma finally decided it was time to call an ambilence. She's at home right now, and would probably like some company. My parents haven't decided if we should go home earlier than we planned (we planned to go home later tonight) yet.

So, yeah.

We came home early. Grandma called to say that the doctors told her it was simply a matter of time. :( We don't know if that means days, weeks, or what.

@JP: Thanks. :hug:

Hey guys, thanks for prayers! =) Grandpa's breathing is slowly getting more shallow, the next day or so may be the last time with him. Still unconscious, and salvation status is still unknown. :yes:

My grandpa's wide awake now, in the hospital. He's speaking very clearly, and everyone can understand what he's saying perfectly now (he wasn't speaking clearly in the past). Now he thinks he's in Chicago, 1916 (it's possible the nurse heard 1916 instead of 1960).

Again, thank you for your prayers. :)
