Quick update for everyone.

For those new to my blog: Christmas eve, my grandmother had a massive stroke. She’s 83. My grandmother was moved to a rehab facility around early January. She’s been semi-okay there and was making some recovery.

I pretty much told my mother that the stroke was the start of the countdown.

Two days ago, my mother had to have them rush my grandmother to the hospital because of a very VERY bad UTI.

When she got to the hospital, her pulse was 170. After a few things they had to do (I’m not going to be graphic), they put her on some medication and brought her pulse down to 109. They’re still trying to get her below 100.

She’s been shaky over the past few days.

Well, they just called my mother (5 min ago) and told her that my grandmother’s not breathing as well, so she has an oxygen mask on her now and blood thinners.

My grandmother taught me Psalm 23. I still have it memorized to this day because of her.

So prayers for my mother’s strength as well as mine and that my grandmother’s death would SHAKE UP MY UNCLES enough for them to realize their need for salvation.

I’m already thinking that I’ll be the one doing my grandmother’s eulogy….since I’m the default ‘preacher’ in the family.

You all know the drill if you’ve lost someone nearby.

Soli Deo Gloria,
K. Joel Gilliard
