Asking a favor for my grandfather...

[Chelle]

He is having carotid artery surgery today, and the surgeon told him that his blockage was so bad, that they couldn't guarantee that he'd come out of surgery.

Any positive thoughts and/or prayers..... would be greatly appreciated. :(

Thanks.....

I will certainly pray for your grandfather and for you. I am sure he is getting the best possible care.

[green lantern]

my thoughts are with you and your family, hang in there

[cpwill]

just sent a prayer; let us know how he does.

[Chelle]

Thanks, ukangel, GL and cpwill.

I just left a message on my mother's voice mail... he's evidently still in surgery. Not heard anything yet.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.

how old is he?

[Independent]

I'll pray for your grandfather. I hope that he'll get better. :)

[Chelle]

how old is he?

He is 79. Age certainly doesn't help him heal, that's for sure. Bad thing is... he's gone downhill really fast. :(

Just a few months ago.... he was full of life...... and now.... well, it's just sad.

He has my prayers.

A family friend went thru a triple bypass last year, he was not doing yery well and was almost too weak to operate on. He had the operation and now he feels like he is 20 again. He is 70 and has more energy than me.

They told my dad the same thing and he's fine. Thoughts and prayers are with you and yours and he will be fine because he has a loving family.

He has my prayers.

[Chelle]

Thanks so much, GI Joe, SkiBum and Djj... :)

He is doing okay... for now.

He has some severe health issues... and I guess I'll have to wait and see. :(

I thank you all, for your kind words, good thoughts and prayers. I do appreciate them!

I add my prayers to the others for your grandfather. May he get well quick and feel better for many years. My father in law had a five pipe bypass and it lengthened his life for many years and increased his quality of life greatly as well. All the best.

Chelle: 79 is too young to die. Really, my grandmother's brother is 97 and he's got the idea that he's got too much to do, he CAN'T die!

[Chelle]

Thanks Wise and Duo..

He is due for tons more testing. He's got blockages still in his carotid (artery in his neck) and 80-90% blockages in three of his arteries leading to his heart. That with being diabetic, he's got a block also in his right leg.... and he's currently not doing very well. I appreciate all the thoughts. Thank you.

There comes a point in all lifetimes when you realize that letting someone go is the best thing for them. And you.

I've outlived all my friends and family. I didn't plan on it, it just happened. I expect your grandfather is at the point where he feels he is done here. Don't hold him back if he's ready.

And if he isn't, let him know he has permission when the time comes.

Chelle, just know that you and your grandfather are in my prayers.
