Nana & Poppop

Please pray for my grandparents, Nana & Poppop. Both are unwell and currently in the hospital. Poppop is in a fragile state and struggling with multiple issues including fluid build-up around his heart and acute kidney failure. He has had many heart problems up to now, and at best, he is a weak man. We are fervently praying that the Lord will sustain his body, give him strength, help the doctors properly diagnose and treat the problems, and prolong his days. Nana is slowly recovering from a bout of bacterial meningitis. She suddenly came down with it last week after diligently caring for my Poppop in & out of the hospital the week prior. It was very serious and scary for us as she was in tremendous pain for awhile and totally delusional. Thankfully, her body is responding positively to the antibiotics and the doctors expect a full recovery, but as I mentioned, it is a slow process. This has been quite the roller coaster for my family especially my Dad and Uncles who have so selflessly stepped up to serve their parents in this time. My grandparents play a very meaningful role in our family. They really have invested in us, served us, taught us, and loved us so well over the years. Not to mention, they have set a solid example of godliness in marriage and life. Please pray for healing, for faith, and for patience. We are relying on Him, and we know that God is good even when life doesn't feel good, He is strong when we are weak, and He is faithful to his children.
