Can You Spare Another Prayer or Two?
My grandfather went into the hospital yesterday and is in ICU with an infection and a breathing tube. Before this happened he told my mom he'd been dreaming of everybody, all the dead relatives. The doctors & nurses keep him sedated because he keeps trying to pull the tube out of his throat. I kept myself pulled together while I was on the phone with my mom, but then one of my brothers called to see what was going on (he hadn't been able to get in touch with our parents) and I started bawling. I'm okay now, just in limbo again, waiting for the phone to ring and for my mom to tell me it's over. My mom's tired. My heart hurts.

I'm so sorry! Lots of thoughts and prayers heading your way, and also to your family. ::hugs::
Oh, big hugs. What a hard time for you and your family.
Huge hugs. I sympathize with how you're feeling.

Hugs, Lexi. That sounds similar to what my grandfather (and family) went through before he passed away. Prayers coming your way.
Thanks, ladies. Your support means a lot.
Sorry to hear this, Lexi. Sending prayers and good vibes your way.
So sorry to hear this. Lots of hugs and prayers your way.
Oh, Lex, my prayers are with you and your family.
Oh, Lexi, I know JUST how you feel. My grandfather died 3 years ago. It's heartbreaking, even when they're of a very advanced age and have lived wonderful lives.
Thinking of you...
I am here for you. Perhaps one of my "dead relatives", Rev. Stanley Jordan Keach, is around ...
Oh, I have to comment on the "word verification" that just came up -- "stante" I wish that I could cut and paste it for proof. You'll just have to believe me.
Interesting?
