Prayers for my Grandmother please!

[Kater]

My maternal grandmother, Irene, currently has pneumonia in both lungs. She will be turning 90 years old in a few months and is in fairly good health for her age. Initially she had a sinus infection and there was no chest congestion but recent x-rays show that her lungs have fluid, indicating pneumonia. While she is fairly healthy for her age, pneumonia can be very difficult to “kick” with the compromised immune system of an older person.

This really has me worried and when I read the e-mail about her diagnosis I burst out crying in the computer lab. I have experienced many deaths of older people caused by infections such as pneumonia. My father used to take me to area hospitals when he would visit the churches older members and serve them communion. It was always very emotional for me to make these visits because I knew that at any time I might hear that the person I had just grown to love was gone.

Grandma Irene is an angel and I love her with all my heart – I cannot even imagine losing her. Please send some of your wonderful *Pet Talk Prayers* to this amazing matriarch.

Here is Irene pictured with her great-granddaughter (my niece, Bella) from this past November.





Thank you for reading.

What can I say except that Pet Talk prayers really work.

God, I know you are listening and I want to thank you for your blessings. Please watch over Kater's GrandMom and make sure that she receives a full recovery.

Kater: My Grandmother lived to be 98 (5 months shorts of 99) and she had pneumonia and kicked it in the butt not once, but twice in her elderly life. I just know that your's can pull through.

Hugs to you.

This is very comforting to hear. My Grandmother has the support of my very caring aunt and access to high quality medical care. I am praying that these factors will help her to have a speedy recovery.

You're in my thoughts! She'll be alright.. she can defeat this thing. My grandfather is 81, and he's healthy as a horse!

Your beautiful Grandmother, Irene, will be in my prayers that she has a full and complete recovery.

I hope this is some comfort to you. A dear friend of mine who just truned 81, just came out of the hospital from having pneumonia and he is doing fine now.
