Asking for Prayers...

                         

Last night @ 2am the phone rang, scared me to death...cause we all know calls at that hour in the morning cannot be good....

I barely opened my eyes enough to see the caller ID was moms number....I immediately thought about my grandad.....

Mom said my uncle who still lives with my grandad....had called 911 and an ambulance was on the way to take him to the hospital...he was feeling numb all over....thinking possibly a stroke

I called my grandads, my aunt answered and I was talking to her wondering whether or not to head on down to the hospital ...but she said to just wait awhile....and see what they could find out first....said his vitals were good.

It brought back so many memories of the call we got in March of 99' when grandma was taken to the hospital by ambulance...and she passed away that very night. 

I hung up the phone with my aunt and the tears started flowing....I couldn't help it...I was so scared....feeling so helpless...and worried.

Jeff said just pray Terri....God has grandad in his care.....everything will be alright....and he just held me....while i cried...and prayed. I left my cell on my nightstand so i could hear it....and with Jeff holding me.....and telling me everything would be alright....it soothed me to sleep again....only for awhile....as I couldn't get grandad off my mind.

I woke up around 4:50am and got up and got ready for work and headed to the hospital....at the time they were still in ER....by the time I got there they had moved him to a room....

I went to his room....and he looked so frail and weak....he was nauseated, had a headache...and still feeling numbness and tingling....more so on the left side....couldn't hardly stand up.....they asked him a series of questions....did several test( CT scan, MRI etc...) and probably more to come.... he had been having trouble out of his ears and they did verify he does have an inner ear infection....but are thinking he might have also had a mini-stroke....

More than likely we will know more tomorrow....but as for now...my family has had little or no sleep...and several of us worked today as well.... 2 of my uncles stayed all day with grandad today....and an uncle will be staying the night.....

So please keep my grandad and family in your prayers....and send good vibes our way....that everything will be okay.....grandad is 77yrs old....and has been through so much already....he takes really good care of himself and tries to eat right and stay healthy.....when I left the hospital tonight he was eating his supper...and actually seemed to have an appetite...and seemed to be doing okay...just totally exhausted as he hasn't slept since 1am or so this morning.....

              Thanks so very much!

I will update tomorrow when I can....hope you all have a Happy 4th of July.....with BBQ's , fireworks, family and fun.....be careful and stay safe!!!

                   Until next time........
