Grandpa's...

What is with my Grandpa's lately?? My Grandpa Del (mom's dad) was diagnosed with lung cancer & had a lung removed 3 weeks ago. He was in the hospital much longer than we expected but he finally got out Thursday afternoon & seems to be doing well. He is recovering at my Aunt Shellie's house in Sunnyside until he returns to his home in Cle Elum.
On Wednesday afternoon I got a call that my Grandpa Myrle (dad'd dad) had a stroke on his way to Portland. At that point they didn't know what the outcome was going to be, but it wasn't looking very good. My sister & I headed down, following my dad & Suzanne. We were all very nervous making the 4 hour drive because we didn't know what to expect when we got there. He has progressed greatly over the last few days. On Wednesday evening he was answering yes & no to all questions that people asked him, but the answers weren't matching the questions. As of yesterday, he was saying sentences & asking questions. He asked my grandma what day it was & he told the nurses to stop bugging him! At this point it looks like he will be the hospital for a few more days & then will be going to in a nursing home in Ellensburg for continued rehabilitation.
Please pray for both of their continued recovery!!!
