singing for Grandpa A...

Update on Gpa A:  Grandpa is partially paralyzed on his left side, able to eat 25% of the pureed food that he is fed, and has alert periods during the day as well as spending a lot of time sleeping.  He will be going back to the assisted living he had just moved into a month or so ago and will be given hospice care from now on.  We continue to covet your prayers for Grandpa and his whole family during this difficult time.

S's 91 year old Grandpa A had a stroke on Thanksgiving day.  He has lost function on one whole side of his body, and can't swallow, so we don't know how much longer he will be with us.  He lives in MI, so S's parents and sister drove out this weekend to be with him.  He has had some bad days since Thursday, but today was a good day for him, so we called to sing him a few songs.

Grandpa was able to say "thank you" and "good job" to the kids which was so good to hear.  We give thanks for the wonderful Godly example that Grandpa A has been in our lives, and for all the love and prayers he has given to us and so many others.  We ask for your prayers for comfort for Grandpa and the rest of the family as well as for wisdom for S's mom and her siblings as they will have to make some end of life decisions with Grandpa.
