Request for prayer for my Grandparents

[RosieC]

I feel rather strange asking this, but I would like to ask you guys to pay for my Grandparents (called Peter & Mille)

My Grandma has suffered from Alzheimer's for a few years and become completely reliant on my Grandad. In the last few days she has suffered a mild stroke and on top of that Grandad has had food poisoning and can't care for her any more.

It is thought that Grandma is likely to suffer further strokes in the next few days, because once they start is someone her age this is what often happens.

It's a bank holiday (public holiday) tomorrow and because of that she can't go to the local hospital. My Grandad does not want her to go to the one in the nearest big town and so she is still at home and my aunt (who is a trained nurse) is helping until she can go to the local one on Tuesday. It's not known if she will ever be able to come home again as it is unlikely that my Grandad will be able to care for her now even when he has recovered from the food poisoning.

I would like to ask for prayers for Grandma to be comfortable and content (since she got Alzheimer's she has a tendency to get very worried when Grandad is not with her). Also for Grandad who has to cope with letting her go to the hospital when she may not come back. Also for all our family, especially my Dad and his sister.

I hope no-one minds me posting this. I just really want to ask for your prayers.

I wish them a long life.

My prayers are with you and your family Rosie.
It just isn't fair to get old and be sick. I pray for your Grand Dad the most as it is going to be hardest on him.

Thanks everyone.

Al, you are right on it being really tough on Grandad. My prayers are especially that God will keep him strong through this time.

Just about to log out the PC and got a message from my Mum.

Thanks to all for prayers today. Local minister visited and prayed with them too. By the time he left there was a dramatic improvement in both. Peter now seems well on the way to recovery. Millie mobile again - and there is a care package in place which hopefully will mean they can stay at home. Praise God!

They still need our prayers as they are both old and sick, but just maybe, if Grandma can stay at home with the help of others, then it will be easier on them both.

Rosie, you and your grandparents have my prayers too. Many here at OB offered prayers when my daughter needed them a year and a half ago. Prayer is a very powerful help at our time of need and I'm glad you asked.

Hang on,Rosie. Of course, we'll pray for all of you! My Dad has Alzheimers, and prayers are a great help for the whole family. Let us know how things progress, but try to trust in His/Her care...Peace...
