please pray.

Some of ya'll know about my grandpa and the infection he has in his hip. Unfortunately he got some bad news the other day at the doctor. The man who did his last two hip replacements did a crummy job and thats the reason for the infection. As of right now, my grandpa has two choices:

1) The doctor will have to remove his hip and he will have to be bed ridden for two months without a hip....(yeah without a hip? i have never heard of that before. sounds awful) This will allow the infection to totally go away.

or

2) He can continue with antibiotics and live through the pain. Unfortunately he will grow immune to the medicine after a while and something else will have to be done.


please pray that my grandpa would have the courage to do what needs to be done, that my grandma will find peace, and that my family would help out in any way we can. With the first option, my family has offered that they could live with us for two months but we're not sure if they are going to accept the offer. It would be hard but I think it would be the best thing.


Thanks guys! Ya'll are so dear to me.

And I'll see everyone on Friday (for those that are going to the debate tournament)
