Grandparents are the best. My thoughts and prayers to you and family.

No need to feel strange or odd about asking for prayers, sweetie, this is still within our rights and freedom. I'm a Christain and have no shame about it.

I do pray that things work out for your grandparents and they find comfort and peace. I also pray that you find hope and peace and your family, too.

Please do let us know how they are doing.

hope all gets better and will do ...I take care of my mother with alz and it can be hard at times but there are good times mixed in too pick those out and hold them and keep the best its hard to belive but sometimes even this can have good moments

Rosie, I pray the God will give all of you peace. May they be able to stay at home where it is comfortable and they feel safe. May you all be kept in his arms. Becky Jo

Rosie,
You can count on my prayers! I really wish your grandparents can be as comfortable as possible! I also send to you and to your family the best energy, so that you all can be well these days!

Thankyou everone. I really apreciate it!

I will say a prayer for them. Hoping all the best for you and your family.

Thanks again everyone. The news is mixed.

My Dad says both of them are brighter today but not good. Neither has had to go to hospital today but my Grandad may have had Salmonella which is nasty at the best of times and in someone his age can be even worse and he's still not well.

My Grandma may not have had a stroke after all, but rather a Urinary infection which apparently can mimic a stroke sometimes. She also has severe constipation high up in the bowl. I would feel encouraged by this 'not a stroke' news if it was not for the fact that the elderly Mum of a colleague died last week following exactly the conditions they now say my Grandma has.

My Aunt (who is a trained nurse and recently works mostly with the elderly) is not having to stay with them overnight now but is with them every day. She has called Doctors in a couple of times yesterday (despite the public holiday) and was able to get them the drugs she and the Doctors agreed on for my Grandma. One nice thing was that one of the 'On-Call' doctors yesterday was a Christian and also prayed with them.

Apparently they have also had their 'care package' from the local hospital increased, which means more carers for more hours every day. The hospital would like to avoid them being admitted if possible.

Not sure if I'm more worried, or less with this latest news :dunno: :_(

Thanks for the update, Rosie. It's hard to know just how to feel, isn't it? But time will tell. In the mean time, my prayers continue to be with you and yours. Hang in there!

Still sending prayers and love your way :blowkisses:
