I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Thank you all and an update First I want to thank you all SO MUCH for your continued thoughts and prayers for my grandpa..... THE PRAYERS WORKED!!!!!!!!! My whole family was up there last night...we didn't get home until after 2 a.m. We were all so worried about him and after hearing the doctor tell us that they didn't think he wasn't going to make it through the night, we all were honestly (trying) to prepare for the worst. Well...he just kept hanging in there. He was talking a little (well, trying to as best he could anyway) and during this particular time, he was very alert and knew what was going on. He knew that we all were there with him He kept dozing off as he is just very tired. However, even though he made it through the night, there is still some bad news. They think that on Tuesday night he had a heart attack, and they think that last night, sometime after we left (not late last night when we were up there, but the time before that - at around 6:30 or 7:00 or so) he had another heart attack. We didn't know this until we got up there late last night, but they actually had to come in and shock his heart 5 times to get him back We asked him if he knew what happened, and he didn't remember any of it. By the Grace of God he is still with us and is hanging in there as best he can. He still doesn't have any appetite what-so-ever though. He is being weighed daily and he is losing so much weight. He just doesn't want to eat anything My uncle was up there this morning (my grandpa's son) and asked him if he was ready to try and eat a little something and he said, "No, not yet" - he HAS to eat though He can't continue to go on not eating. I recommended that they give him some Boost and they are going to try that next. At least with the Boost he will be getting some type of nutrients in him. His heart IS weak though (we found out that he has Congestive Heart Failure) and we just don't know what each passing hour is going to bring. He does seem to do alot better during the day for some reason. I am just so worried about tonight. He is strong and he is a fighter and I know that he WANT'S to live. Sometimes when elderly people get bad off they are just ready to go...but he isn't. Please, please, please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He made it through the night and is still with us, THANK GOD...but late yesterday evening when he took a turn for the worse it was just SO sudden and it all happened so fast and we are all just so scared that it is going to happen again Thank you all so much for your prayers so far and I will continue to keep you guys updated. I love you all

I think the fall happened because he was just so weak, from not eating enough...he just does not have an appetite at all He has just gone downhill very quickly and has gotten incredibly weak. His hand is completely bruised...the whole thing is purple and blue, because of the fall And his arm is badly cut also. We are going to see him again tonight so I will be back with an update I am sure. Thank you again so very much, from the bottom of my heart for all of your continued prayers....I means so much to me. I love you girl

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Tonight's Visit... Well, we went to visit him again tonight. He looked better to me tonight than he did last night - MUCH better. Last night he wasn't talking AT ALL and tonight when I walked in his room I walked over to his bed and held his hand and told him that I loved him and he smiled and said, "I love you too". He was talking as best he could a little here and there. He was just extremely tired as he has had visitors ALL day long, in and out constantly...and he hasn't been able to get any sleep. He didn't sleep one wink today, not one. I know people want to see him, I totally understand that because I do too. But the same people will come up there 2 and 3 times a day and stay for a LONG time and he just doesn't need that right now. He needs to get some rest. His body is just SO exhausted and worn out from everything. Not to mention the nurses pop in every 5 minutes it seems and flick the bright light on and do this and that to him - he just can't ever get any rest I just wish you all knew how sweet my Grandpa is. The nurses come in and tell him that they are going to do this and going to do that, and he just smiles at them and says "ok" and does whatever they tell him to. He doesn't complain about a SINGLE thing and is just so cooperative with them. He always says he is fine and just doesn't have one single thing on earth to complain about. He is just the sweetest and most gentle person ever. Even the nurses made a comment about this, saying how sweet and cooperative and patient he is. I just love him SO much Even though he seems better, and looks better, the doctors didn't have any good news for us I found out today that he has Fibrocystic Lung Disease along with the Congestive Heart Failure. The doctor said today that "it will only be a few days...." The truth is he is never going to come out of that hospital. He just isn't. This is what we all feared and our worst fear is coming true. I cannot tell you how broken my heart is right now. We are losing him.... I don't want to lose him When I think about how sweet he is....how patient he is being....how cooperative he is being....what a trooper he is being, how he smiles about every little thing...I just break down and cry. Anyway I have to stop because right now I am crying so hard that I can't even see the keys anymore. I will be back with another update tomorrow. Thank you all so much, from the bottom of my heart for the continued thoughts and prayers. They mean more than you'll ever know.
