Bupa

For those of you who don't know who Bupa is, he is my 95 year old Grandpa (my Dad's Dad). Yesterday he was rushed to emergency due to an extremely low hemoglobin count. He was a 4 and the normal is about a 30. He had a blood transfusion with the hope that it would bring his count up.

He's still there today and the doctors are giving him more blood. His count went up to about a 7 but, the doctors want it to be at least a 10. They also found blood in his colon which isn't a good sign.

The amazing thing, (Bupa continues to amaze us all) is the fact that he continues to be so "sharp". The doctors and nurses cannot believe how "normal" Bupa is. Usually people with this low of a blood count are totally out of it and can't even speak!

Bupa has a tremendous will to live! With all that he had been through in the last 6 months...he's still the same Bupa (just a little slower and much more tired). He's so alert, funny and sometimes a little sarcastic which cracks us up! Whenever we see him, he always asks how Joshie's taekwondo is and also tells both Joshie and Jayden what good basketball players they are!

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.
