Major love for everyone. He's hooked up to a million life support devices and sedated right now. His team of doctors have said that the next two to five days will be very telling - either he'll regain control enough of his blood pressure to function off life support or he won't.

I'm not overly optimistic. He's 83 and his heart wasn't doing the best before this. Massive, massive damage from the heart attack at the beginning of his largest heart vessel. But I haven't given up hope completely. Mer.

So much fluff for the awesome peoples around here and everywhere. I read your comments (lightly edited) to my Nanna and it makes her smile. <3

(And yeah, Lauryn... I know. The team that's got him now seems to be very up on things, but they're working with a situation that's bad to begin with. This is the hospital he and Nanna watched their only son die in twenty years ago so it's not giving her the best thoughts right now, or my Mom.)

It's okay, just let the crazy lead the way. When has it ever lead you astray? ~Satra

Shini, I fear you may be terribly bored. A lot of our time lately has consisted of waking up, doing a few house things, getting Nanna, and sitting in the hospital doing nothing for many hours. This will likely continue, for her sanity so that she can see him. Much as I would love to see you, I fear that it numbs the mind and the soul to be in the hospital for that long and I wouldn't willingly subject anyone to that.

Just wanted to update the hiatus. Granddad passed at about 12:45am last night with a horde of family by his bedside. Sadly, it was a choice between my Aunt's birthday (17th) and my brother's birthday (18th). With support removed early in the evening, his body made that choice for itself.

Now we have the aftermath drama to work through. My Mom's probably going to be responsible for the largest majority of the BS. After I can deal with myself better, I'll be helping her as best I can.

I hope things go smoothly at least. If you need someone to rant at I'm pretty easy to find. <3 And if you don't have it I can give you my home number.
