Please be Praying for my grandparents.

I am really lucky to be where I am and still have all four of my grandparents. I don't see them very often because they all live in the Sacramento area but I still consider myself blessed. My mom's dad has gotten some sort of weird infection in his knee. Below is an excerpt from an email from my mom. Please be praying...

Hi there:

I talked to Grandma earlier this afternoon (around 2 p.m.) Grandpa was in surgery for them to clean out his knee area. His white blood count was over 400,000. Normal is around 12,000. They will culture the junk they take from his knee and see if they can figure out what type of infection he has. That will take 3 days and they will keep Grandpa at the hospital. At that time, the doctor said he did fine during surgery. Aunt Jamie called me about 8:30 p.m. Apparently, Grandma didn't get in until about 8 p.m. to see Grandpa because he had difficulty after surgery with his blood pressure and heart rate. I know Grandma didn't expect to wait that long to see him. They are keeping Grandpa in the Intensive Care Unit tonight to keep a better eye on him. At this time, that's all I know. Grandma doesn't want anyone to come to Sacramento, at least not yet. She has even told Uncle Rick and Uncle Dan not to come to the hospital because there isn't anything they can do and Grandpa is pretty much out of it for now. Please pray for both of them.

We are concerned about Grandma too. She will probably rest better with Grandpa in the hospital because she was so worried about him. Also, it was so hard for him to get around at the house, and Grandma is exhausted from trying to take care of him.

Call if you want to tomorrow. I'll share whatever news I have. If I hear anything more, I'll contact you.

Love you all,

Mom
