Prayers and thoughts needed.

[bailadora]

Bumping an old thread. . .

Please send prayers/positive thoughts to my grandma. She's in CCU right now, critical but stable, but she's probably not going to make it.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Saying prayers and lighting a candle for her. I'm very close to both of my grandmothers so I can imagine the worry you must be going through.

Eilan, all of you will be in my prayers. I hope for the best.

Eilan, all of you are in my thoughts.

 

[Eilan]

Quoll, emptynester, bailadora, Cate, and bobsgirl, thank you all for your kind words and positive thoughts.

My maternal grandparents have been a huge part of my life (my grandpa died in 1997). My mom is an only child, which means my brother and I are the only grandchildren.

I've posted info about my grandma's condition and progress here for those of you who are interested.

 

[Phaedre]

I am praying for you and your family Eilan.

 

[Eilan]

Thanks, everyone. I owe people some PM's, but I'm getting ready to head to the hospital.

This morning, my grandma was only on regular oxygen and was eating breakfast, her first solid food for well over a week. She said she was "starved."

This past week has been such a roller coaster. Things kinda came to a head last night and I couldn't stop crying.

It is always a good thing when their appetite returns. Continued thoughts and prayers for you and your family, Eilan.

 

[Cathleen]

That is very happy news, Eilan. Bring her one of her favorite treats! You're all still in my thoughts and prayers.

I've been asking for positive thoughts for my maternal grandmother.

My paternal grandmother passed away a couple of hours ago.

I'm a bit sad, but we weren't that close. I did get to take my girls to see her about a week ago, so I'm glad of that now.

 

[Cathleen]

I'm sorry for your loss, Eilan, for all of you. Continued prayers for your Grandma, and all your family.

You and your family will remain in my prayers.

I am so very sorry, Eilan

 

[bailadora]

Eilan - I'm so very sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[Eilan]

Thank you to all who have posted.

My other grandma is fading fast. She's refused food for at least the past 24 hours, and now she's not drinking, either.

It's official.

Two grandparents to zero grandparents in 30 hours.

A few days ago, I couldn't stop crying. Now I can't cry.

Fuck.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I know it's hard on the entire family. You are in my prayers.

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry.. I hold you near in my thoughts and hope that fond memories soon fill your heart to replace the incredible sadness.

 

[Cathleen]

I'm sorry, Eilan. It's been a very difficult time for you all, you'll all remain in my prayers.

 

[bailadora]

Eilan - I can't even imagine. You're in my prayers. I'm so very, very sorry.

 

[bobsgirl]

I'm so very sorry for your loss, Eilan.

 

[emptynester]

Eilan,

I was about to send you a PM about your sig line and avatar when I realized I hadn't checked this thread in a while. Somehow some of the threads I subscribe to are not making it to my email anymore.

I am so very sorry, but want you to know how sincere I am when I say that I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Please send prayers and positive thoughts to my father in law. I just got the call that he had a heart attack yesterday afternoon. Thank God he got to the hospital in time and he is stable. Today he's being transported from a rural to a major hospital for further treatment. There was no mention of a bypass, so I'm praying that they can handle it via angioplasty.

I hate not being there to help my MIL. These are the times when living 1800 miles apart really suck.

 

[Eilan]

Consider it done, bailadora.

 

[bailadora]

Thanks, Eilan - I'm rather fond of the 'ol coot. The prognosis looks good. They were able to place one stint yesterday and will place the second one tomorrow. Barring any complications, he should be home Tuesday afternoon/evening. Now all we've got to figure out is how to get him to follow the doc's orders-.
