Another prayer request

carolina-rig-01 · 01-11-12, 04:34 AM

Fellas I got a call at work tonight, and since I never get personal calls at work I knew it was bad news as soon as my boss handed me the phone. It was my dad and he was choking up pretty bad as he told me that my grandpa was in the hospital and was really sick. I flew to the house and picked up Britney and we dropped Lake off at my other grandparents house and we rushed to the E.R. So far we have got conflicting reports. At first the doctor said "I am not going to sugar coat this, I think he had a heart attack. He is in heart failure and he could die from this". Then we were told later that he is in heart failure but the doctor doesn't believe he had a heart attack. In the 15 minute ride in the ambulance to the hospital grandpa swelled up beyond belief from fluid building up in his body. They now have him hooked up to a ventilator and are also draining the fluid from his lungs. Since we are down to only one hospital in our area because of the May 22nd tornado which destroyed our 2nd hospital, they didn't have an open room in ICU. They are hoping to move grandpa into a room in ICU sometime tomorrow morning, and hopefully we will have some more answers then. In the mean time if you could say a prayer for my grandpa as well as the rest of our family I would appreciate it.

Thank you guys for the prayers. He is far from being in the clear but they did take the vent out earlier. He is still waiting for a room to open up in ICU and hopefully we will know more then. I am in the waiting room now with the rest of our family right now and will post any news we get. In the mean time please keep praying, we aren't ready to lose grandpa yet.

Jrob78 · 01-12-12, 03:51 PM

Ok guys, I just spoke with Kory via text and he wanted me to share the latest news. His Grandpa has improved so much that they aren't going to bother with putting him in the ICU. He ate his breakfast this morning and next thing they knew, he was up shaving.

Sounds like he is quickly getting his strength back! I'm sure Kory will have more info late tonight when he gets off work. This is very good news!

MississippiBoy · 01-12-12, 04:32 PM

Amen to that. Great to hear.

bcklash · 01-12-12, 05:42 PM

Thanks Jrob thats awesome.
