Update on Grandpa

Grandpa had a stroke on Tuesday. He was moved yesterday to Hospice care within the hospital. The stroke has affected his speech center and he is very confused with short moments of making sense. The Doctors believe that the small tumors have appeared in the head, which is adding to his confusion. He is having hallucinations, a lot of fear, and confusion. He has very little short term memory, however, his long term memory (military days etc) seems to be working just fine. lol.

They are keeping him really medicated right now, trying to let him get some deep sleep. Someone will be in the room with him almost 100% of the time. Please call and please pray.
