My grandpa is not doing well... his wife died a month ago, he has a broken arm and pelvis. He has Bone and Lung cancer Stage 4. Since starting chemo saturday, he's gone into a coma and came out of it only to have a stroke early the following morning. Its been very very rough.

This morning my best friend calls me... his wife has just gone into labor and is at the same hospital.

Need prayers and good vibes all around

    Sending you and your grandfather good vibes...congrats to your friend with the new baby.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    So sorry to hear about your grandfather. I wish you both peace. And new babies are awesome. A beautiful little bundle of hope that you can hold in your arms.
    And the sun it may be shining . . . but there's an ocean in my eyes
  • Thanks everyone for the kind words. Carson came out just fine... he's little (just over 5 lbs) and early (5weeks) but no signs of any issues.

    Unfortunately, there is nothing more they can do for my Grandpa, Neal. Because of his age and condition further treatment will just cause unnecessary pain. They're just making him comfortable till he goes. He's almost completely non-responsive.

    At this point if anyone is up for it...just pray he goes quickly.

    thank you all so much for the support
