Yesterday was not a good day…

I ask for your prayers and good thoughts for my grandfather today. My mother called me yesterday to inform me that my grandfather was taken by ambulance to Akron City for respiratory failure. They asked his wife to leave the hospital for the day while they ran tests to figure out if it was congestive heart failure or pneumonia that was the cause. Either way it doesn’t sound like he is going to be leaving the hospital this time. I may be going up in the middle of the week to see him (and hopefully mend open wounds) or depending on the next few days pay my respects to the man who was as much a father to me (and sometimes more so) than my own.
