Our family

Barry's grandfather was taken to the ER in Arkadelphia Wednesday. He was in a diabetic coma. He later stabilize and was doing better. They had started him on thick liquids because he was having trouble with his swallowing and speech which we still have not gotten an answer to why that happened. Yesterday before Andra and Danny were leaving to come home he made a serious turn for the worse. His oxygen level this morning is in the 60s and the only option at this point would be a ventilator and he doesn't want that. Along with him being a diabetic he has COPD. They tested his lung function and they are functioning at 20%. Andra is an only child with only a few people left in her extended family. This is extremely hard for her. Barry is also very close to his grandparents. As a child he spent his entire summer vacations with them. Saying all this if you would take a minute and pray for our family. Thank you so much. When there are any updates I will post them.

I am thinking about you girl! Have they said anything about a stroke maybe. Some of the symptoms you described are similar to the ones Anthony's dad had when he had his stroke. I am praying for you!!
