Prayers Wanted

Jaime and I went to Corpus on Sunday after church to see his grandfather. He is not doing very well. He has battled cancer a couple of times and decided this time he did not want to do any treatment.

We went to Corpus about three weeks ago to see him and he was still in okay shape. He was able at that time to get out of bed and was eating well. Jaime and grandpa had a good visit last time. A lot of the family spent that weekend together just talking about old times and family history. I know Jaime really enjoyed that time with his grandfather.

Sunday was a little different. Grandpa is no longer able to get out of bed. He also does not eat very much or drink very much anymore. He did eat a couple bites of a sandwich and had some grape juice while we were there. At this point we will take what we can get. Jaime sat with him for a long time on Sunday. Jaime read the paper to grandpa and they talked when grandpa was not asleep.

At this point we know he is not going to get better. We are just hopeful that his pain is not too bad and that he goes in peace. Please keep us and Jaime's family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We will take all the prayers we can get.

We will say lots and lots of prayers. I will put you all at the top of the list. It is so hard to watch those you love decline!!
