P7Pts' for my great grandpa

I posted about two weeks ago of the health struggles my great grandfather was facing and things have just progressively gotten owrse over the course of this week. We found out last night that he had a bowel obstruction and were awaiting the results of a dye cat scan done yesterday. I got a call about an hour ago to find that he now is battling three cancers instead of just the one. He was diagnosed with Lymphoma before christmas but then this morning they also diagnosed him with bowel and lung cancer. They are going to removet he bowel tumor in the morning but given his health state they are not prediciting him to make it out of the surgery. If by the grace of god he does survive the surgery they are going to send him home on hospice which basically means sending him home to die. The whole hospice aspect of this gives us only about six months of life in him at the best. This is very hard for my grandmother to deal with as she has only recently begun to work again and it will be a hard situation to find the money to get her up there before he passes. If you could please pray that he makes it through the surgery and hopefully through the next week or so as that is about the earliest she could get there reasonably. Also pray for my family that is so very sad and affected by this tragedy and those to come in respects to him.
