We got a call 2 weeks ago that my grandpa's kidneys were failing. He could definitely use prayers, for him to be comfortable and not experience too much pain through some of the other issues he's facing...and for his strength to get better.
He's been so healthy as he is approaching 90 years old.
He lives in Independence, KS but had to come to St. Francis in Wichita. Which means we could easily go visit. He and my grandma hadn't seen any of us since last Feb. when Mason was born. So we were very excited to visit, although we wish it was under better circumstances.
I realize these aren't the most appropriate of pictures...but I asked his permission and he didn't care one bit. Okay, so I may have forgot to mention they were going on my blog...but I'm pretty sure that could have taken hours to try to explain to him what my blog was.
Regardless....these are special pictures.
Grandpa was actually doing very well. He didn't seem much different at all, so it was nice to see him and chat.
Taylor spotted this Dora balloon in the hospital gift shop. Of course my mom, was happy to buy it for us. So Dora went home with us and has been floating around the house.
She doesn't really like Dora in her room at night when she goes to bed. So we stick her in the hallway. Last night, I rolled over in bed, to see the shadow of Dora high in the doorway of our bedroom, just a black outline of a very large person...a little scary.
It' so neat for our kids to know their great grandparents, this is the only set left. Even if they don't know them WELL, the times we have are special.

that is one big balloon!
That is hilarious about the balloon scaring you in the night. We have actually woken up abruptly to balloons being sucked into the ceiling fan...also very scary!
I wouldlove to follow your blog but do not see a button for that!!
That made me laugh outloud that you rolled over in bed to see that. Seriously...I laughed out loud!!!
How funny!! I can just imagine you almost letting out a scream! We had a life size Michael Jordan poster that we often scared Jill with - she'd pull back the covers and there he was! or she'd pull back the shower curtain and there he was!

We will be praying for your Grandpa! I know what you mean, time spent with great-grandparents is very special since your children will have very few memories of them.
