Pray for Papa!

We found out about a week ago that Jacob's Grandpapa avery "Papa" is not doing so well. We already knew that he had a leaky valve in his heart, which is fixable but his health isn't good enough to operate. Last week we found out that his kidney's are failing and he had to have a blood transfusion with two units being "put in". Yesterday Jacob's mom called to tell us that he has Double Pneumonia and was having a hard time breathing. Not more than an hour later she called back and said that they had to rush him to the ER in Tehachapi until they could stabilize him enough for the ambulance trip to Bakersfield. Today I (this is Jacob now) spoke to my mom and she said that Papa is doing better. Dani and I both know that there comes a time in every one's life when it's just time to return from whence we came, we simply hope that this is not the time for my Grandpa. All that we ask is that you all pray that Papa will feel at peace and that it will be the lord's will. These are a few picture of Papa that I wanted to share. This picture is at Sonic in Provo. He is such a silly and funny guy. We had such a good time seeing them and it was so good to get to know him better.

This is of Jacob and Papa at thanksgiving point for Jacob's sister Whitney's wedding. Papa has been more of a father figure for Jacob since his father wasn't always in the picture. He is having a really hard time, especially since we are so far away.

We will keep him and you guys in our prayers. It's no fun to have sick family when you are far away and feel like there isn't anything you can do. Let me know if there is anything we can do for you.
