David's Grandmother

The last several months have been so trying for the Price family (the whole clan). David's grandmother is very sick. She is in the hospital every two weeks at least and her health is going down hill fast. At this point the doctors can't do anything to help her~other than a feeding tube and she doesn't want that.

We are taking advantage of her few moments of clarity...Cracking jokes, telling her stories of past and present, laughing as much as we can. In the moments between, she doesn't know who we are, where she is, and is talking to people who have passed. These are the times that crush Dave and his family. She doesn't understand when she has to be cleaned, changed, given meds, eat...all these things are overwhelming for her and with the amount of pain that she is in, it just makes it all worse.

Please, pray for this family. Granny is saved, I know where she will be going. But it is still hard for them to say goodbye.
