Tonight I went to see Grandpa.  When I got there Youngest Sister was there and Grandma was out taking a walk.  Grandpa was sleeping.

Over the last couple of days he has grown increasingly more and more tired.  His days and nights seem to be mixed up similar to that of a newborn.

After he woke from his sleep he still had a hard time "waking up".  He was groggy and was doing everything possible trying to "wake" himself.

He is only able to eat one bite of food at a time.  The goal is for him to eat at least 100 grams of protein per day and he is at less than 10 grams.  As a result he will likely get a feeding tube tomorrow.  That is VERY disheartening for him.  Younger Sister, Grandma, and I talked and it is absolutely what he needs to do to get some strength back.

They have been talking about the "next steps".  It is some sort of facility for therapy and rehabilitation, but at this point when and where is unknown.  It is possible for him to stay at the hospital he is in and continue, but we all agree that maybe moving to a new location will lift his spirits. 

It is hard to see him so frustrated and tired.  He didn't walk today, because he is just too tired.  I don't remember if he sat in a chair or not.  The days are all kind of running together for me.

Prayers for energy and healing for Grandpa.

Prayers for strength and wisdom for Grandma.

Prayers for wisdom for the doctors as they make recommendations about the next steps.

Praises there are next steps which is such a blessing compared to this time last week.
