Do any of you have prayer requests??

Just an update for those that have been following.

Papa/grandpa has been home for about a week. He is not doing well at all and I think these will be our final days with him. His body was rejecting the feeding tube again.

They quit giving him medications, quit the feeding tube, quit the fecal tubes (diapers from now on,) and basically it's just a matter of time. They are giving him pain meds to make sure he is comfortable and at peace. I imagine he'll be gone within the next couple days and honestly, I am ready. He needs to go, it's his time. He's not getting any better and has no quality of life.

Please think of him and wish him peace, and for my grandmother, who has been slowing losing her husband of 53 years.

{{HUGS}} to you all and please remember to tell your family and friends you love them.

It's this line that's the true heartbreaker. I'm so sorry about all this and wish I could remove this cup from you. Please know that I don't forget even if I don't always post. Your Grandpa and Grandma and you and yours are always on my prayer list.

Hugs to you, Kay...I know you and your family will be a huge support to your grandmother, although you all have your own heartbreak to endure.

Is Papa aware of what is happening? I hope you will be able to have another good visit or two.

In similar situations, our own family was told that hearing is the last thing to go...so I am sure he will hear you, even if he doesn't respond.

Prayers for peace to all of you.

((((hugs))) to you, Kay. As hard as this is, at least he is home and surrounded by his loving family. It's never easy, but is sounds like you know he is ready, and will be at peace in a better place. You & your family remain in my prayers.

Prayers to you and your family Kay. Do you have hospice helping? They are very experienced with the end of life and easing the pain and helping the family too, I hope your family is not dealing with this alone.

Kay I'm very sorry to hear this.

I've lost both of my grandfathers, its a very difficult thing to go through. I hope he passes peacefully, I'll be keeping you, your grandmother, and your family in my thoughts. {{HUGS}}

Please keep Bobcat in your thoughts. Yesterday, we found out he needs a pacemaker ASAP. Surgery is scheduled for Monday.

Here's a photo of Bobcat comforting Pepper after a boo-boo.

BobCat prayers on the way!

Pacemakers are easy - I slept through the whole thing!

Prayers for Bob and the pacemaker.

I know so many of these are done routinely, yet it means the HEART, and that is always scary. HUGS and more prayers that all goes well. Bob will likely feel better than he has in a long time.

Hoping that Pepper comforts Bobcat after his booboo.
