My FIL "Lukey"

My sweet father in law Luther passed away last week.
On Thurs., Nov 5th his heart stopped beating & he had been that way for approximately 30-40 minutes before the nurses realized it. It was around 11:00pm. He was life flighted to a more advanced hospital. He had numerous health problems and our hospital usually does not have that many specialist all available at the same time.
So the Doctor's confirmed that he had no brain activity and the family had to make the decision to take him off of life support. After all of us (who could be there)said our goodbyes the Doctors start to prep to "pull the plug" and Andy had his hand on his Dad's head when the nurse stepped back and said "I have done nothing and he's passing on his own." So sad yet a relief at the same time. We knew it was time for him to go and be in Heaven where he has no more pain and a different type of halo.




I am making Madi a book about the things she did with her Grandpa and the kind of man he was. Here's a sample of it.

Fred went to see his Dad today and said he seemed to be more alert, like his old self and talked up a storm. We are Thankful today for his health and good spirit.
Thanks for praying for him!

I've been eating french fries, a footer and pizza this weekend...diet starts tomorrow!

My Father in Law Luther

This photo is so funny because he wanted something to keep his head warm at night while he slept (but not too hot) so this is what Fred and I came up with one Christmas! It was all we could find at the mall! Lookin' like John Travolta in Wild Hogs, don't ya think?!!

He's back in the hospital again. He was feeling faint this morning and then would not respond in conversation so my MIL called the ambulance. Since his heart attack he can barely function and will be going to a nursing home just for a few weeks of rehabilitation to get some strength back.
We took Pebbles in to see her Grandpa tonight and I hope it cheered him up some.
Please continue to pray for his recovery. Thank you so much.
