Grandpa in ICU

My Grandpa is now in the ICU with another infection but they are not sure where. He also has a blood clot and his blood pressure is dropping. They called the family to come so it doesn't look good at all. Please pray.

Justine

The doctors said the next 18-24 hours will tell us a lot. It is mainly a matter of if he can go home and die or stay in the hospital and die. They found that he is bleeding out somewhere internally but they don't know where. It is just a matter of time now, please pray for all of us during this time. I just want this to be quick and painless as possible for him .

Hugs Justine, my father in law lived only a matter of days too past his diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. Your entire family are in my prayers.

Thank you so much you guys, the support means more to me than you can ever imagine. I haven't really cried yet...I mean REALLY cried. I am not good at showing emotion around people and I am trying to be strong. But today when I saw him in the ICU ward and saw how different he looks....it just hit. I am sitting here trying not to bawl . I have a great support group in my friends and I am SO thankful I have them because they know when to make me laugh or just let me cry.

I honestly am just trying to process how fast everything is going and exactly how I feel about the whole thing. I never realized until I went and saw him today just how much I want to say and never have....great tears again . Okay I need to go out and milk the does then feed the babies. I will use my girls as big sob cushions, what is also hard and sounds weird is not having my dog Riot here. He has been my companion and friend through every single hard thing growing up and now this is happening and I don't have my steadfast companion by my side during the day or the night. Okay I better get off before I soak the key board .

Justine

Oh sweetie I am so sorry. You can still tell your grandpa everything now. It's never to late to say what needs to be said. I also personally believe riot is still right by your side. I don't think they really ever leave us. Big hugs are being sent your way.

Sending Hugs Justine, I know how hard it is to go through this, it's the part of Life that sucks! Talk to your grandpa & tell him everything you want to say but just always thought you'd have more time.
