I don't usually do this sort of thing and I'm not going to lie, I'm not the most religious person out there, but if any of you pray or do anything of the nature, please keep my grandfather in your' thoughts.
He's having a really rough time in the hospital and things don't look good at all. He's had a few open heart surgeries in his lifetime, but he had a pacemaker put in last week. He originally went in because he was having problems breathing and they determined he needed the pacemaker.
After a few days out of surgery, his vitals seemed okay, but he really continued to feel bad at home and didn't do anything except lay in the bed (which is really unusual of him). At about 5am yesterday he had another light heart attack (just days after getting the pacemaker) and they had to rush him back to the hospital in Birmingham. He's back in there now and they ran all the tests again and checked the pacemaker and the doctors seemed confused as to what was going on.
Overnight, he had another heart attack and things just don't look good. The doctors have told my grandmother that his heart is so weak now that it's not functioning properly enough to run all of his vital organs and they are trying to shut down. He's had problems breathing, using the bathroom, etc. and it just doesn't look good.
The doctors say the hospital is the best place for him to be right now, but they don't expect him to make it out of the hospital this time. They don't know for sure and it could be days, weeks, months, etc. but things really just don't look good this time.
This is really devastating to my family and my Mom is having a hard time with it (she tries to hide it, but I know it's tearing her up).
I'm hoping it's not his time to go and there's something that can be done. He's at one of the best hospitals in the state and SouthEast.
I'm not looking for any special attention or anything, I just want to get the word out so he can get as many prayers as possible to help pull him through this.
