Good News Update

Today we finally received some positive news about my Grandaddy's situation. After weeks, I mean weeks of begging and pleading he is finally going to be moved to a facility in Nashville where his condition can be evaluated by specialists. Today Tad from Kindred Hospital came down to assess him and determine if he was a candidate for their facility. I prayed, Dear Lord please give us favor today, and he did. Tad explained the process to us and he will be leaving in the morning. My dad, my grandmother, and I will be following the ambulance tomorrow. They are sending a "special" ambulance with people specialized in caring for patients with heart conditions and breathing apparatuses. We have been told by the hospital doctor that he has not been stable enough to move. This is frustrating to us b/c now that time has run out on medicare he is suddenly able to be moved when his condition is actually worse. I don't understand it. Well I do but I just don't understand how money could drive people to make decisions that would jeopardize someone's life. I am realistic and I know that my Grandaddy will probably not be at himself like he was when he went in to the hospital but he still deserves the best care possible. I know that God is using this experience to strengthen us and bring us closer to him. Today I watched my daddy cry and pray himself for God to have favor on us, something I haven't witnessed many times. Please continue praying for our family and especially for my Grandaddy.
