Prayers for my Grandma

Original post by MoochsWifey

I don't know if you all remember but a few months ago my grandma had surgery to remove a large cancerous tumor from her jaw. Since then she has been in the hospital. She was doing better for awhile but in the last week or so she has not. She has a staff infection and pneumonia. She has been on the strongest antibiotics available and is not responding to them at all. 2 days ago she put on a ventilator and her breathing was extremely labored. Today we were told that she is not going to come out of this and that the ventilator is really all that is keeping her around. My mother and her siblings have decided based on my grandmother's wishes that on Friday when the whole family can be together the ventilator will be removed.

My poor mother is a mess, she believed so much that my grandmother would be able to pull through. I feel so terrible, I hate seeing my mom look so defeated and broken and sad.

If you can please pray that my grandmother is pain free for the next 2 days and that when it is time she can pass peacefully. If you can pray for my mom too I know she would really appreciate it.

Thanks girls.

Thank you all so much. My mother and aunt went to spend the day with her today and asked the doctor if they could try taking her off the ventilator for a little while and see if she would be ok with just oxygen. The doctors weren't hopeful but miraculously she has been breathing on her own for about 4 hours now! We are all just praying she continues doing well. The doctors said how she does through the night will be a real indicator of the days to come.

Again thank you all for the prayers, there is no doubt in my mind that they are helping!
