Grandpa Jacobson

Back on the evening of October 6th my grandpa had a fall while outside by his dog.  He ended up needing his hand stitched up and by Thursday of that week was in the hospital with a blood infection.  He has been there for 4 weeks now.  My faithful little grandma has not left him even once since they got there.  For 4 weeks she has stayed day and night at the hospital by his side.  He was doing well and seemed to get over the blood infection so they moved him upstairs for rehab to help him get his strength back but instead of getting better he seems to have more bad days than good. :( It has been SO HARD to watch!

 I wish these would rotate so you could see how cute grandpa and grandma are!

 And this is my FAVORITE picture of ALL TIME! This is my cousin Sabra's husband Travis who took a full-on SELFIE with grandma!!! Hahahaha!! We were all sneaking pictures when we were there, but not Travis! :)

After 4 weeks grandpa and grandma are not only physical exhausted but emotionally exhausted too.  The family has been having to stay with them 24/7 because of how confused grandma gets by the doctors and her surroundings.  Grandma's short term memory is horrible and she gets very disoriented very quickly.  She doesn't want to leave grandpa (& after almost 70 years of marriage I DON'T BLAME HER!) and grandpa doesn't want her to leave so we have been making it possible for them both to be there together.  Tomorrow they move grandpa to a new facility where grandma can visit but not stay.  It will cause new issues I am sure, but we are a big (very big!) strong family and will work together to get through the new challenges.  We are constantly praying for grandpa to get better, but we understand he is 92 years old and has lived a good full life and we know the Lord is in control and accept whatever His will is.  What a blessing both of these two are in my life and what a blessing it has been to be able to spend so much time with them these past few weeks! I love them both!!
