My Papaw is in the hospital and has been for about a week. Congested heart failure and a bladder infection. I guess the bladder infection has gotten so bad that it is making him severely ill. He has to go to West Virginia tomorrow to have a tube put into his arm, so that he can go home. My Gramma will have to inject his medicine into his arm everyday to help this bladder infection go away, because if it doesn't it WILL kill him. If she can't take care of him, which we're praying she has the strength to do, they will have to put him in a nursing home. I don't like the idea of my Papaw being in a nursing home. He's always been the coolest and strongest old man I've ever known, I can't picture him being this sick. I guess he keeps talking like he's going to pass away. I'm terrified. I'm hoping that I get my income tax return on Friday, and I'm hoping that I'll have a car within the week so that maybe I can go visit him... Please pray for my Papaw to get better, and pray that my Gramma has the strength to take care of him.
