My grandfather has gone back into the hospital last night. (He just recently recovered from all the problems from his blocked artery that caused him to fall down the stairs back in January)

This time the problem is with his gallbladder and appears to have nothing to do with the problems he had earlier in the year.

He started getting sick a few days ago but didn’t think anything of it until the other day when he started having chest pain and fell once. They ran test and have found that he has severe infection in his gallbladder and that it is probably ether dead or dying.
He’s now on medication to clear up the Infection and will then need to have surgery to remove his gallbladder. Of course any surgery like this in risky for him because of his bad kidneys, hart, and lungs.

That all I know for know and will let you guys know as I find out more.

I ask for you to send your prayers and best wishes for him.

Thanks guys.

As soon as the infection clears up they will be doing the surgery. But still no idea when that will be.

The surgeries over and he appears to be doing good.
They haven’t been able to check yet to see if every things working at the same level they were at before he went in but so far everything seems fine.

Even on the antibiotics the infection was getting worse so the decided to do an emergency operation to remove his gallbladder.
