Prayers for Big Ern

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:27

Well It's funny how life is. One week your writing about your grandfather's 88th birthday and the next week life has taken us down a new path. Last Tuesday night we noticed my granddaddy was Jaundice. He was the color of a yellow highlighter. So we took him to the ER and they admitted him. He had a procedure called at ERCP because they could tell that he had a narrowing in the bile duct region. The doctors believed they're was blockage in the bile duct region that was stopping the bile flow from the liver to the small intestine. This is what is causing the Jaundice. No huge masses turned up on his CT scan, but they did a biopsy and they think it's more than likely a type of cancer. On Wednesday they will do another ERCP procedure and take more tissue samples of the area to biopsy. It's so crazy how life changes in a blink of an eye. Right now it's just a lot of waiting, praying and making sure he's feeling okay. I have peace in my heart that whatever may come our way that God is love and He is in control. Please keep him in your prayers.
