Hey out there…

As some of you know, I am updating some people about the status of my granddad…he is in the hospital now because of a stroke and subsequent heart attack. From now on I will update from here so check back as there won’t be anymore emails sent.

UPDATE

Everyone,

I know some people have been asking for another update, so here goes:

Thank you thank you thank you for all your prayers and food. God is upholding us as a family this week and it is thanks to the many prayers that everyone is sending up for us and my granddad.

Today, Wednesday, marks the first full day off the ventilator and he isn’t even using the oxygen mask anymore. He is very alert and held my hand for a long time yesterday during the worst of the “weaning” off the breathing machine. His heart is still a problem, but we know that God’s will will be done in all of this. There is the problem of the decision to insert a feeding tube tomorrow, so please pray for that. As always, we have been praying that God would make it VERY clear what will happen in the next few days. My mom and my uncles do not want to have to make a difficult decision without full peace and clarity from God that it is His will. Whatever that means.

Also much praise to Him that my uncle and aunt (and his 8 kids) could come down and be with here with us during this time. Yesterday with the whole family was such a blessing, we just realize how wealthy my Granddad really is for having such a wonderful family who loves the Lord. What riches!

Thanks again, and hope the update helps.
