sorry in advance for spelling errors and crap, this may be a jumbled mess, i am working on next to no sleep.
dh's grandpa has been sick and in and out of the hospital for 2-3weeks now. This past week he was released for good to a "rehabilitation center" (it was really nursing home). We all knew his time was coming and so did he, but his only wish was he wanted to die at home.
Well we did our easter yesterday and i stayed with chloe at my sister's house so that i could see family from out of state again today since DH has to work. When DH got home he called me to tell me that he had just been told that his grandpa was put back in the hospital at sometime during the day yesterday and they were keeping him sedated and were not letting him wake up at all and he was not expected to live to today. Dh went at stayed at the hospital last night along with FIL and they were at his side all night. At 4:30am DH called me bawling and told me it was over and that he had passed away.
he was put in the hospital yesterday because they found out he had a perforated bowel, that had apparently been leaking inside him since he was originally put in the hospital. Had they caught it sooner they could have made him more comfortable the entire time, but they wouldnt have been able to fix it because he would not have lived through the surgery. The doctors told DH and FIL yesterday that there was a chance that it would leak into his lungs and he would choke to death but luckily it didnt and he went very peacefully. Dh said he kissed his cheek and said goodbye and his grandpa's breaths just started getting farther and farther apart until he took a big breath and that was it.
earlier today dh's grandpa told FIL that he knew he was dying and he was ready to go (his wife died exactly 20months ago). Our family just really needs prayers/good thoughts to help us cope with the loss, he was really an amazing man. DH and FIL are having an especially hard time with it.
