Grandpa not doing so well again

I've posted several times about my grandfather having heart troubles recently. He had a heart attack in November (on Thanksgiving) and triple bypass in December. About three weeks ago he was having trouble breathing, and was in the hospital again to replace his pacemaker, but he went back home after 5 days and looked much better.

He's having breathing trouble agai, and went back into the hospital again yesterday morning. His heart is racing and they can't slow it down...they wanted to do an ablation (no idea) to help that, but because of a pre-existing clot, they dont' want to becasue that migh tcause a stroke....
I'm getting worried that this might be it for him. he's on all sorts of medication and is delusional again. He's getting violent has been kicking my grandmother.....it doesn't look good.

There's not really anything anyone on here can do, but I was just looking for some hugs I guess.

I also feel a little guilty because I'm not visiting him in the hospital like this....I feel like I should....but he wouldn't even remember it if I did....and I hate to see him like this

I'm sorry to hear this. Makes me realize being alone for my birthday isn't that bad in the grand scheme of things.

I hope Grandpa gets better!

The doctors just perfromed some sort of a procedure (not sure what it was becasue my grandmother isn't so reliable with these things) and they got his heart rate down to 80!!! and he's lucid again!!!!

all of those prayers worked!
