    Prayers for my Grandpa, please *Update: post #18*

    My grandpa has been in the hospital for a few weeks now. We are not sure what is wrong. He has a pinched nerve in his back (can't remember the name - but the most painful one to pinch).

    They had him on morphine for the excruciating and debilitating pain, but it wound up backfiring. His kidney's are now failing (although, there has always been minor problems with them) and he has fluid in his lungs.

    The doctor's had to bring up resuscitation today.

    My parents are leaving tomorrow afternoon, and I am looking after my siblings.

    I am having the first "panic" attack I've had in a while. I usually "can't" breathe. I eventually got it under control, and I don't really feel like telling my parents. It's from the stress - a new job, having Jersey here and not knowing if we're keeping her, my grandpa possibly dieing, and now having to take care of my siblings. Family will be helping us out, but still.

    We would all be grateful for the smallest prayers you can offer. Last time he was this serious, he had the will to live. This time, he is severely depressed, and it worries me.

    I am sorry about your grandfather, their is nothing worse than pain, I feel for him. I had a pinched nerve in my neck and wanted to just die. I hope they can keep him out of pain without damaging his liver.

    I am sorry. You and your family will be in my thoughts. It's hard losing grandparents. I've lost all of mine now. Let's hope it is not his time and he will recover from this.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I'm so sorry about what your grandfather is dealing with and certainly understand how all this can preciptate a panic attack. Of course I will say a prayer for the both of you.
