Grandpa Binion

Hey All. Late lastnight my mom took Sam to the emergency room. Ever since he got his cathetor out he has trouble going to the bathroom, but then if he doesn't go his butt starts to hurt. It was just this endless cycle that we couldn't understand. Lastnight it was hurting him so bad that it brought him to tears. So my mom took him, and when they got there they put a cathetor in and his bladder drained 700 cc's of urine. Normally your bladder should only hold 400 cc's. So obviously he had scar tissue or something blocking his ureter from being able to drain. Pray for his healing. And it's a little bit of a set back too. It's going to be hard for him to work out and become stronger if he has a cathetor in, and there is also a big possibility of another surgery.
Also keep our family in your prayers. My dad called us early this morning. He had been staying at my Grandparents house as my Grandpa was getting close to the end of his life. For all of you who didn't know.. my Grandpa had been battling cancer for a while now. It had seemed to go into remission for awhile, but then it came back with a vengeance. Right before the accident he was told he didn't have too much longer to live, but I think when the boys got hurt he held on to make sure they were going to be alright. In the last month he had been rapidly getting weaker and weaker. His organs were beginning to fail, he was losng weight, and couldn't eat.
I've never had to watch someone die before my eyes. A couple days ago all the kids and grand kids went in and said goodbye. He was heavily sedated and couldn't really respond, but right before we left he woke up enough to tell all of us he loved us. We all wished him farewell and told him we would see him in heaven. What a wonderful gift it was for all of us to have that reassurance. :) Early this morning my dad called and told us that my Grandpa had passed away. Sunday would be his 69th birthday. Pray for my Grandma, my dad, and my aunts.
It is hard for me to write now. As I write so many memories come blur my vision in the form of tears. :) Pray that this is an opportunity for my family to show my aunts and my Grandma the real Jesus. :) They are also struggling with bitterness and regret. Pray for my dad.. this is a heavy burden for him to bear.
God bless.. Sarah
