Some of you may remember me talking about my grandmother who passed away back in January after battling the effects of a stroke. Well, my grandfather had a stroke on Monday. It was a pretty big one on the left side of his brain. He will not be able to feed himself and has really bad lungs from smoking all of his life. He may not last much longer and I would appreciate your prayers. My mom is just now getting over loosing her mother and now her dad has had a stroke. If he passes away soon (which is highly probable) that will be 3 of my 4 grandparents passing away within the past year.
Again, thanks for the thoughts and the prayers. I am reminded of Romans 8:28, "And we know that God causes all things to work togheter for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
I don't know what God's plan is, but I am thankful that He has one.

DG, your strength amazes me. Sending our prayers and well wishes to you and your family.
You can always PM me (I work in a Stroke Unit) on any concerns or questions you have. I know sadly first hand how devestating strokes can be.
We are all here for you. What a hard year this has been for you. <<hug>>

Well, I just got back from the hospital. My grandfather is doing really bad. We called in Hospice today to make him as comfortable as possible. His oxygen is really low even with a mask on. As hard as he is breathing, I don't see him living more than a day or two more.
Thanks for all the replies. Just keep praying.
