With Gran

One of the main reasons we took our trip to Ashland during Christmas week was to visit with Gran. Peggy's 93-year-old Grandaddy has been living in a nursing home for about a year now. We visited him every day while in town, and he always had a smile on his face during our visits. He seemed fairly lucid, his color looked good, and we had several really good visits with him. Well, the day we left for Vero Beach, Gran was taken to the hospital with a temperature and elevated heart rate. On New Year's Day we learned that Gran's kidneys are failing, working at only about 20% capacity, and that he may have an anurism in his stomach. Thanks for your prayers for Gran and for the family as they tend to his care. Praise God for our time together with Gran last week!
