Grandpa..

I was just informed that my Grandpa just might have had a stroke. He's passed out, and they're calling an ambulance.

They (grandma and him) just drove up to NC (a several hour drive), which was probably too much stress on him, which I'm thinking is the cause of this..

He is a Diabetic (and eats horribly nonetheless), has a pacemaker/defibulator(sp?), has to take tons of meds, has had like a billion surgeries (countless heart attacks, strokes, heart surgery.. etc) and he says he's died about fifteen times already, but God kept bringing him back..
But yeah, due to that history, I'm thinking his body is finally shutting down..

Over the last couple months, he hasn't been doing very well at all. He has hardly been able to walk, due to lack of circulation, (he has only like seven and a half toes so that makes it worse), he has fallen several times already, and we think he had a stroke within the last couple months, because he has been kind of slurring his words.. So yeah..

Just keep in prayer for him and the family, especially Grandma..

Thanks peoples.

So, we found out Grandpa had a minor heart attack. He's on IVs again, and they're giving him blood transfusions. They said his blood is like poison or something like that.
He has internal bleeding, but they can't find where, so that's a problem.. SO yeah.

Thanks for the prayers, peoples! Really appreciated.

Sooo.. His kidneys are failing, and he's refusing to get dialysis. They went home a couple days ago, and Grandma has been calling everyone for them to talk to Grandpa for the last time.. So.. Yeah.

Ouch. That's stuff. I'll be praying. The situation sounds a little similar to what we went through in February. We were seriously preparing ourselves for if my grandpa died. It was so hard...It was around the time of a big karate tournament, too, and it was like, 'Okay...will I miss this tournament to go to my last grandfather's funeral?' (my mom's dad died before I was born).

'Course my grandpa's situation was different...

Gosh, I'd like to give you a hug. I hope and pray things work out.
