Please pray for my grandfather, Bud. He has been hospitalized for GI bleeding. They are planning to do a colonoscopy this afternoon and possibly an endoscopy. Please pray for healing as well as the problem to be quickly found.

Thank you all for praying. Just got an update. Colonoscopy was successful. He has diverticuli. They were able to clean the colon while doing the colonoscopy. Now he just needs a couple of days to start eating and gain strength back before being discharged. Please keep praying. Thank you!

My grandfather is in having procedure for a GI bleed. There is a 50/50 chance it will be successful. Please pray it is, and we wont have to deal with full blown surgery.

At hospital with my grandfather. His blood count was slightly improved this morning, but it is still too low. He has started bleeding again. They may need to do another bleed scan. Please keep praying!

my grandfather had another blood transfusion yesterday.  This morning his hemoglobin was 9.  He is currently stable.  They will test again tomorrow.  Our hope and prayer is that the hemoglobin will hold stable.  That will mean he is heading the right direction, and we can start talking discharge.  If it does not hold, then we will looking at more testing to see why it continues to fall.  Please continue to pray!
