My Grandpa hasn't been feeling well since Christmas. It appears to be similar gall stone problems to those he had just before Christmas two years ago that put him in the hospital for over a week. It is very hard to get him to go to the doctor because he fears going to the hospital again, but he needs to see a doctor unless the problem clears up very soon.
My step father could use some good thoughts too. He is undergoing chemo treatments for lung cancer. The doctors say the chemo won't cure him, but just buy him some time.
And finally I'd like to ask for strength for my mother. She is the primary care giver for both these men, although they live in different houses. She often feels torn from her wish to be in two places at once, and is fearful of finding the worst has happened while she was away whenever she goes from one house to the other. It is a great strain on her.
