I haven't said much about my grandfather lately. It's not for lack of news, in fact there's entirely too much. He's been to the hospital numerous times since I last posted about him. He's fallen and hurt himself many times as well. Last week Monday he had a stroke and went to the hospital again. Since then they pulled a blood clot out of his brain. He was sedated and intubated most of the week. The tube came out on Friday and he's been awake but limp since then.
He can almost swallow.
He was adamant that he never be put on machines to keep him alive, and that's where he is right now. The doctors don't have much hope that he'll recover to the point he was even a week ago. As I type this, my mother, uncle, and two aunts are at the hospital discussing how to go forward.
