My grandpa is not doing so well. He has been hospitalized for over a week now and when he went in he was "near death". I left on Saturday and arrived at the hospital in Waurika, OK Saturday night. He looked bad. Didn't recognize me at first- he came in really dehydrated and was just beginning to regain his senses. When I went back on Sunday he knew who I was and asked me about my boys. They ran additional tests on Sunday and found that he is sufficiently rehydrated and his kidneys had started functioning again- but he is now in heart failure. He is 91 and very frail. I flew home today. I am pretty sure when I kissed my grandpa this morning as I left his bedside it was for the last time. I am at peace with this and I am so very grateful that I was there to help care for him and love on him for the last few days.
My grandmother is a mess. Everyone else has accepted that his body is shutting down- but she just won't. Please pray for my grandmother. She needs strength and a gentle reminder that the Lord is in charge and that his leaving this earth will mean only that he can finally rest. More on this later...
I will post pics of the first day of kindergarten when I get a moment. Until then...
