They just discovered and anuerysm (spelling) in my grandfathers stomach.

Can you please pray for his healing if it be in God's will?

Thank you all.

I hope he is better soon. Are they going to operate?

Posted by MentorsRiddle (Member # 2108) on :

I'm not sure yet.

I would think they would have to.

The problem is that he has been having this issue for the past three and a half years and has not gone to the doctor.

Only untill recently did he agree to go.

From what I've read - if they find this thing early they can usually fix it - but if it goes on too long it is usually non fixable and mortal.

Now I'm just hoping they caught it in time.

But, I am afraid they didn't.

An aneurysm is a bubble in the artery. Or rather, it's a weakness in the artery that causes it to swell out like a bubble from the blood flowing through the artery. It's only fatal if it is not detected and swells to the point where it bursts.

It sounds to me like your grandfather has a very good chance because they detected it so they can fix it.

I am praying for him.

I'll pray for your Grandfather too.

Thank you,Crixus.

Just an update on the situation.

He could not have the Anurysem surgery, because they found 100% blockage in one of his arteries.

They fixed that.

Now, he had a stroke.

He is recovering from that and hopefully will be able to have the surery in a few months.
