Hello everyone. I am asking for prayer for my Grandfather. For those of you who don't know, my grandfather has severe diabetes. He had a triple bypass in 98, had a stroke 3 days later and went blind. During the Fall of 07, he got an infection in his foot, and during the Holidays, had his leg (under his knee) amputated. Just recently, he came home and got a prostetic leg and was doing fine. However, yesterday morning, he was knicked in the face while someone was helping him shave. He got an infection, and this morning, his face was so swollen, that my grandmother didn't even recognize him. He's at Johns Hopkins now, about to undergo emergency surgery.
Several things can happen, when you have a severe infection in your face:
The swelling can put pressure on the brain
The infection can spread to the brain
The infection can spread to the throat, causing swelling and cutting off oxygen.
Please keep my grandfather in prayer. He's been through so much. Also, keep my grandmother, my father, and the rest of my family in prayer, as this is really tough to see. Ultimately, I want the Lord's will to be done. So, just pray that our faith in God will only increase during this time.
Grace and peace, Brothers and Sisters.
