My Grandma is in the hospital...and it is not looking well. She is however, has been blessed with 97 wonderful years..and until she went into the hospital on Sunday she had lived on her own in a small apartment/community. She has heart problems and a terrible cold. Her heart is old and slowly running out of power. Just thought I would post for you to keep her family (which includes over 70 Great-Grandchildren) in your thoughts. thanks I will keep you posted.

Skootz-my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. I lost my grandmother on my fathers side on the 18th and just found out last night that my Great Grandmother on my moms side is in the hospital. She too is in her 90's, but it does not make things any easier for me. I pray for your family as I hope you will pray for mine as well.I wish healthy, happy thoughts your way and a peaceful pacing if that is Gods wish to have our angels back.....

thanks everyone..I will keep your G.Grandma in my prayers too Silly. Saw her today..wow she still is such a strong lady...better than what I expected her to be.. she had the doctor check her over this morning and her lungs are clear..just very bad cold..the coughing keeps her from sleeping well and it tires her and her heart out. She did get 1 hour sleep this afternoon before she me and dh so I think that helped..so time will tell. She made sure that my mom went to her apt. to get the last couple of pieces of her birthday cake out of her freezer for me to take to my 3 girls at home..she is still sharp. I am very happy that I have went to see her..esp since she still knew who I was etc. you never know if she gets worse you won't get much of a visit then. But of course she has said many times today (in English and her native Dutch) "I'm not dying yet!" Grandma has 2 sons in Florida who are on their way home now and a daughter in New Zealand who is planning on coming as soon as she can get travel info (visa etc.) together and get a flight out.. But I am sure Grandma will be around until she sees them for sure. Thanks for the prayers everyone..I certainly felt more strength this afternoon, than I did this morning. I will keep you all updated.

I just wanted to poke my head in here and say a big THANK YOU To all who wished and prayed for me and my great grandmother. I just got back a bit ago from the hospital and the doctors are letting her go home tomorrow!!! She is an unbelievable woman and I just don't know what I would have done if I had lost her. I used to spend my summers on her farm, she was the one who taught me how to read and write and ignited a passion for literature in my soul. She was the only positive person in my life as a child-always telling me how gifted I was and special and how I could do anything I set my mind to. Although I have told her many times I don't think she will ever understand how much I appreciate her. Anyways, thank you so much again-prayers really do work!

Update on my Grandma....the doctors have said that her lungs are clear and her heart is back to normal...she still has a bad cold. The last of her family flew in last night..so time will tell. My grandmother has said to my mom that she is now ready to go since her family is all her now together....I think it will be the next couple of days will tell which direction she will go. thanks for your continued prayers..I will update once I know more.

I found this piece of paper in my grandmothers belongings and just wanted to share.(the grandmother that passed away Dec. 18th) It looks well loved as though it had been around awhile and now it is posted in my home. Reminds me so much of her I just love it..... Dear Lord, So far today, I am doing all right I have not gossiped,lost my temper, been greedy,grumpy,nasty,selfish,or self-indulgent. I have not whined,complained,cursed or eaten any chocolate. I have charged nothing on my credit card. But, I will be getting out of bed in a minute, and I think that I will really need your help then. Skootz-I am so sorry about your grandmother. I am glad to hear that all of the family is together though. Please keep us updated, you and your family will continue to be in my prayers!

Great poem Silly...and wonderful picture Herckle. Update..well she has sat up a bit more and is eating..so it is hard to say..she was ready to "go" now because all of her 10 children are home and near her. But you don't alway die when you want to. She is stable for now. I am anxiously awaiting this winter weather (not here but north of here where my Grandmother is) to settle down..they have had road closures etc. the last couple of days so I am not going to risk taking my 3 girls to see their Great-Grandmother yet. Thanks again for all your prayers and kind wishes..wonderful to have a place to go where there are so many caring people
