Prayer Request

Jake's grandmother has been ailing for sometime now and appears to be at the end of her life. She is in the final stages of Alzheimers and her body is starting to fail. Here is the most recent info I have (this morning). She has extensive artery disease in all areas. The veins in her legs are extremely blocked up with blood clots and calcium and there is really nothing they can do. Her left foot is already dead and her right foot seems to be dying. For now they are just trying to make her comfortable. Her blood clots are moving and that could kill her at any time, although she seemed to be feeling fine last night. All pain has stopped in the left foot and the right one only hurts when its touched. If she is still living in a day or two, they will have to amputate the left leg above the knee to stop further rot. They may have to do the same for the right. They are putting that off so she can have a little more time with family when she is at least semi-alert.
Please pray for the family right now.
