Prayers for my grandpa

My Grandfather is back in the hospital.
He had a severe heart attack (his second) on Thanksgiving, followed by a period of dellusions (He thougth Hitler was visiting him ) and triple bypass surgery.
He's been home for a while though, and he's been doing great....driving, mild yardwork, etc.
Apparently, his doctors heard a flutter (?) in his heart and were going to have him come in tomorrow for a procedure to take care of it and do something with his pacemaker. But he was having trouble breathing and acting strange, so he was brought to the hospital by ambulance this morning at 5am.

I don't know how serious it is, since he was supposed to go in tomorrow anyway, but I'm a little worried about him....and could use some prayers and hugs for him.

Well, my mother just emailed that he's doing well and he was stable when she left. Of course, she likes to leave out most of the information, so I'll have to call her to find out the whole story .
I'm going to see if I can visit him tonight.
Thanks everyone for being so great

I am so sorry! I hope he feels better. Is he still having delusions? The reason I am asking is maybe there is a neurological issue as well?

We believe the delusions were because of the medication they were giving him, and the fact that he had to give up alcohol cold turkey at the hospital.....after drinking for 60 or so years.....
