Prayers for FIL - Please

[cgcw]

Things are not looking at all good for my FIL. Yesterday, he suffered a 3rd stroke in 12 days and has now slipped into a coma. The doctors are trying to encourage his family (my DH, MIL, 2 BIL & 1 SIL) to sign a DNR. But, one of my BIL's is very much in denial and adament that my FIL is going to make a full recovery. The 3 strokes that he has suffered have been significant - 1 in the brain stem and 2 in the right side of the brain. It is a very sad sight to see him like this and deep down, I know this is not the way he would want to be. DH is accepting of this, but it is becoming even more complicated because of my one BIL. I don't think my BIL will ever accept that there is no hope.
Our DS8 is suffering because he's sad because his grandpa is so sick but then he cries because he doesn't want him to be like this anymore.

Three times now the hospital has called for us to rush over there because they felt he wasn't going to survive. The emotional roller-coaster is really taking it's toll on all of us.

I'd really appreciate any prayers you can send.

Oh Cindy, I am so sorry to hear about your FIL's condition. I will remember him and your family in my prayers. I will say a special prayer that God will help your BIL understand if it is his father's time to go.

Cindy...

My heart bleeds for you and your family...

this sounds like such an aweful nightmare you are living thur....
life..sometimes..seems so unfair.....

...but by your willingness to reach out...and ask others for emotional and spiritual support...you are taking a great step forward!

The power of prayers...is..in my mind...undeinable.....that said...our 'higher power'....always prevails. He may well have a purpose(s) for his actions...this while painful due to our lack of understanding...may well serve a purpose that is sooo wonderful and beautiful in it's conception...that only time...and the Lord's love will make clear to you.....

I'd urge you to comfort your family....to love and serve your maker...and to be comforted by the knowledge that there is a plan and vision greater than our own.....God Speed to you dear....whatever the future holds...please know that many, many of us here...stand ready, willing and able to offer you our love and support.
