Update** Could use some T&P (NBR)

My family has had a pretty hard day today. My grandpa (mom's side) had what we thought was a stroke just before noon today, luckily my mom was with him. He lost conciseness and his heart stopped beating in the ambulance heading to Holy Family, they started cpr with no luck, then they defibrillator and gave him some adrenaline and the heartbeat came back. They lost him two more times in the ER early afternoon, started him on more med and his heart has been beating ever since, not real strong his blood pressure wasn't great either, but at least it's still beating. He currently is not responsive, but is more stable than what he was, heartbeat is in the 60's and blood pressure is almost normal for him (his heart was only working at 24% in December). The doctors have not been real positive on the outlook so far, we're hoping for a turn around soon. We'll find out within the next hour or two if it was a heart attack or a heart rhythm issue. Best case scenario they will do a cardiac catheterization, but only if he gets stronger.

On top of all this, my grandma was having a very hard time with everything and started having panic attacks. She ended up passing out in the ICU waiting room, so she was taken down to the ER to have everything checked out and was given some sedatives.

I would just appreciate if you could say an extra prayer for my Grandpa *** and my family, we sure could use it. There have been a lot of tears shed today, and we need all the positive thoughts and prayers we can get.

Thanks!
Betsy
