    He decided to take a nap today, when his girlfriend Rosie went in the room he was slumped over in the chair. She said that when she sat him up, his face was pale, and his lips were purple. I went to visit him earlier, and he is looking better. His blood pressure was really high when he was admitted, but it was lower when I got there. They have an oxygen mask on him, and we were told that if he gets better then he will just have to wear the tube that sticks in your nose (I forgot the name), but if he gets worse then they will intebate (sp?) him. I believe he will get better; he is much too stubborn to die. I would still appreciate it if ya’ll would keep him in your thoughts/prayers. Thanks ~Angela

    Well my grandfather is getting better. He no longer has to wear the mask, but the small tube thingy. We found out what the problem is, he has a blood clot in his lung, and one in his leg. They won't let him move, but at least he is talking and alert.

    Thanks guys. He is finally out if I.C.U. He was moved into his new room last night. I'm sooooo glad he is getting better. Especially since I am leaving tomorrow and won't be back until the next Saturday.
