My grandpa had his triple bypass and then a major stroke on the right side of his brain. They are slowing down his ventilator, to see if he breathes on his own. They are giving him nutrition today with a feeding tube. I feel so helpless and scared. He's not moving his right side. They can't judge his cognitive function until he wakes up.

((((HUGS)))) to you, coffee!!

I hope that your grandfather wakes up from the ventilators and recovers his strength. I have seen people overcome very difficult physical challenges in my life. It is so scary and sad, I wish him the best!

What is the latest on your Grandpa? Any more news? Did he wake up yet? How is his breathing?

I've been praying. Please let us know what the latest is, when you have some time, ok? Hugs, Lee
