Yesterday was one of the saddest days of my life (so far). I got the dreaded call from my mother that we have a diagnosis for my grandfather, who has been very healthy until 2 weeks ago. He has a disease where his cells are "commiting suicide" and destroying themselves. In other words, he is not going to make it through this. My uncle, a geriatric doctor, gives him anywhere from 3-12 months to live.
This is heartbreaking, because he has no idea of this (as far as I know). He just wants to come home and that is what we are trying so hard to make happen.
Last night my mom, sister and I talked with hospice, sitters, home health and a family friend who is a doctor and agrees to keep him as comfortable as possible.
Please keep us in your prayers as we do not know what the next few months will hold. My grandmother is not doing well at all. She barely weighs 100 lbs and is blind. This whole event has exhausted her both physically and mentally.

Sorry to hear about your Grandfather, I didn't even know he had been sick the last couple of weeks. Your family is in our prayers.
