more prayer, please!

Hi friends,
I just wanted to let you know that my grandpa was taken to the hospital last night. They think he may be bleeding internally, but aren't sure; anyway, he's anemic. They kept him overnight. My mom seems to think that it's his heart (he has a pacemaker and a pig valve in it--both of which are approaching their "expiration dates") and that he could die any time soon. It's a bit of a catch-22. He's definitely sick of being in pain; he has terrible headaches daily and is often out of breath, unable to do what he enjoys. He also has bad arthritis, some sort of acid reflux thing so his esophagus hurts, ingrown toe nails, pre-cancer in various spots. Despite this, he has been fairly "healthy." Anyway, he may in part be ready to die; ready to be done hurting. But I think he's scared, and his family, of course, doesn't want him to die. It's hard on my mom; she kept crying yesterday. But my grandma is doing pretty well (I think that may be because she doesn't get how serious it is though!)

Anyway, pray for my fam this week! I'm supposed to go out of town this weekend, and am trying to decide if I should cancel...it will depend on how today and tomorrow go, I guess.

Much love.
Danielle
