Grandma update

First I would like to thank all who are praying for my Grandmother and other family members who are in need .I would also like to ask that you keep doing so. As I type, Grandma's health continues to decline. The doctor's as well as most of us are baffled that she is still with us. She is doing better at accepting her coming death but still seems very fearful. We think that her Dementia has her mentally going back to when her eleven children were small and not wanting to leave them when they need her. Since I updated most, Grandma now has an intestinal disease ( Nobody seems to remember what the doctor said the name of it was. C Diff ,I asked ? they didn't know) Six of her eleven children were called in to a meeting with doctors and declined an insertion of a feeding tube( Grandma is eating by mouth but not enough to sustain her) The same six also agreed to a DNR status. We all know that death is inevitable but it is so tough to watch with your hands tied. Thanks for the prayers, we all appreciate them.
