My 91 year old grandmother fell Friday night and broke her arm. A misdiagnosis now confirms that she has a broken pelvis as well. This comes after a harrowing 5 days (including Christmas) for my mom and my aunt, who just spent the day trying to have her admitted to the hospital. The hospital kept trying to send her home saying there was nothing they could do for her! Do you believe it?!? Well, grandma is in bad shape tonight. My mom called and asked that I pray that she leaves this world and goes to see her own mother, as my grandma keeps saying she wants to do. Of course, I have never been asked to pray that someone leaves this world. I told my mom to just get a good nights sleep and things will look clearer in the morning.

Maybe we can just pray that whatever God has in store for my grandmother, that He just send a sign or something....and have it happen quickly to relieve my mom, my aunt and my poor grandmother from the agony that they are all going through.

Thanks ladies. I told my mom I'd say 100 prayers, but I realized I could get alot more help if I asked you all to join in.

((((((hugs))))))

You can add my prayers to yours. I know how hard this is.

God's Will be done.

I am so sorry to hear this, and more so, that no one is able to help relive her pain. I will certainly pray that your grandmother heals and feels more comfortable soon. I am sure that whatever he has in store for her, all will know.

[Launa]

Yes, me too! I will pray the Lord's perfect will in this terrible situation, that is always the safe way to pray! Hang in there Theresa! ((((HUGGS))))

[Ursula]

I've added mine Theresa. You are right that prayer is the best course of action.

When my grandmother (then 89) fell and was in what sounds like a similar condition, my father asked what her she wanted. Did she want to get better or did she want to be with my grand father who died in 1953? Sometimes it takes a little more faith to let them go.
I too will be praying for the Lord's will to be done for your grandmother. I do hope they've been able to help her with the pain.

[angelaNussbaum]

Oh dear! I definitely will pray. it does get hard when they start changing their will to live. I will pray that God helps your family and your grandmother to the place he feels is best.

I will pray that the Lord ease your grandmother's suffering, and trust that he will, in his infinite wisdom, know the best way to do so. God bless.

[Ngaire]

[jennk]

Sending prayers your way. I feel for you and your mom and aunt. It is so hard when a loved one says they would rather move on. Hang in there.

[jeschaff]

Adding my own prayers to all the others. Whatever the outcome, I pray that the medical professionals will at least make her comfortable.

[sprinklz]

The poor dear! Many prayers that God does send the sign your family is looking for and that your grandmother will not suffer any more.

[Rose Ann]

I'm praying for peace for you, your grandmother,your mom, and your aunt. I am also praying for wise and good doctors and for her pain to be relieved.

Sometimes the elderly know when it is their time, and sometimes they just get down on themselves when they are hurting and in pain. I will continue to pray that the Holy Spirit comes to your grandmother to help her understand what is going on in this situation.

[Durin]

My prayers are with you and your family, Theresa. God bless you all and give you the peace and comfort you need at this time.

[disneymom]

Theresa,
Praying for God's will for your grandmother and that everyone involved will have the strength they need to accept it! When you have a strong belief in the afterlife, sometimes having a loved one move on is a blessing.

[lgsouthfla]

Theresa, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I do hope your mother and aunt will have some relief from their worry. It must be very hard for them to see her like this.

[Jo Corne]

thinking of you and your family and praying that the right course is taken, whichever it is.
God bless you all T, keep us posted

[Shari PV Mom]

I will absolutely add your family to my prayers. God's Will Be Done and may His comfort surround you all.

I know that sometimes the elderly unconciously hold on because they feel the people they will be leaving behind need them and/or don't want them to go. My grandmother (who was already comotose at the time) was holding on. After we all got there with her and had been sitting with her for a while my Mom told her it was okay. That we were all there and we would be fine. She held her hand and five minutes later she had passed. That's not always the case but sometimes it is. You'll know if that time comes because the Holy Spirit will tell you.

Continued prayers and giant hugs for you and your family.

[ManiakMama]

Lots of prayers that God will do his will with her, whatever that may be...

[Ro]

Add my prayers to everyone else's, Theresa. I'll be thinking about all of you....

[trishy]

Oh T, I am so sorry! I'll say a prayer for comfort, to all of the ladies in your family including yourself.

Thinking of you,

[MaryJo]

Oh Theresa, I just saw this post and I am so sorry for your family. I certainly will add your family to my prayer list. I wish I was there to give you a hug in person, but this little note will have to do ! There must be so much you're going through right now , and for that I am sorry. Just know that we all love ya and will be praying that God will do whats best for your Grandmother ! 92 ! Wow thats an awesome life! She must be a feisty lady!!! God certainly has blessed all of you to have her for as long as you have. I know that doesn't help. I'm so sorry.... Keep us informed ....

[ScrappingForever]

More prayers for your grandmother and your family coming your way. As the other's have said, God's will be done, and peace to all of you as you walk this road.

[CindyB]

You can count on my prayers as well Theresa.
(((hugs)))

[Sarah in VA]

Theresa, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother, and the agonizing time this is for your entire family. You all have my prayers that she, and your Mom and Aunt, will be allowed to make this transition with comfort and grace.

[Wxchic]

I knew I could count on my friends...I have not gotten a phone call this morning, but I will check in with my mom later tonight to get any new details or changes.

I appreciate you all. As hard as it is, it is comforting to have you all behind me.

My grandmother has had such an impact on my life. I am lucky to still have her around, although the past 12 months she has really deteriorated to the point that I can't even call to talk with her anymore. But I still send her flowers and cards and photos. I think right now I have accepted the inevitable...but my mom still has not been able to come to grips with her failing health. I worry most about her.

Thanks again, ladies. You mean the world to me and more.

[Scrapin Pat]

My prayers for all of you. I trust God will care for her and be with you and your family.

My friends Father recently died of cancer - it was well advanced before the doctors recognized it and his time was very short. What he told his family was that he was lucky because he was in a "win win" situation. If he stayed with them here on earth he was near the ones he loved - if he moved on he was reunited with his wife and with his Lord.

What a blessing it is to know the Lord and know that death is not only an end but a beginning.
