More Prayer Needed, Please

I need some more prayer. Last week my grandpa was admitted into the hospital because he couldn't walk, his knee was swollen, and his wrist was swollen. Well they ran some tests and find out that he just needs some physical therapy to move around and get his legs working again, his swollen knee is because of arthritis, and his hand was swollen because he has gout.

(Gout is an disturbance of uric-acid metabolism occurring chiefly in males, characterized by painful inflammation of the joints, especially of the feet and hands, and arthritis attacks resulting from elevated levels of uric acid in the blood and the deposition of urate crystals around the joints. The condition can become chronic and result in deformity.)

Well while my grandpa was in the hospital, the ran all kinds of tests. They took a chest x-ray and found a quarter size spot on his lung. Therefore, they did more tests and the result is cancer. My grandpa is 83 years old and is not in the best health condition due to a chronic addiction to alcohol and cigarettes when he was younger.

As of right now, I do not know how fast the cancer is growing therefore I do not know how much longer that he will live. I just hate to see people suffer, and I hope that he doesn't. I see people in the hospital suffering and I do not want him to be one of those people.

Therefore, please continue to pray for me and also for my family as they go through difficult times.

Thank you and I will try to keep you posted.
Love Always,
Becca
