I blogged about my Grampy before Christmas and his struggles after suffering an aneurysm of the aorta in September which resulted in a major operation to save his life. He had many complications following this and had to endure a further four major surgeries which he came through, and as the weeks went on we all began to breathe a small sigh of relief. However a few weeks ago he began to go down hill and we were told that he had infections at the surgery site and in his lungs. Beings he was still so weak his body couldn't fight them as well as it might have if he'd been more recovered and other organs began to struggle too. The doctors couldn't risk any further surgery as my Grampy just wasn't strong enough to come through another one, so they hit back hard with strong antibiotics. Unfortunately it was too much, and sadly 5 months after he was admitted to hospital, my Grampy gave up his fight.
We won't forget how strong he was, or how much he conquered and over came, and as much as we are all going to miss him, we will always love him, and he will remain in our hearts forever. we are safe in the knowledge that he is no longer in pain, or suffering, but that he is now free, reunited with other loved ones we've lost and is watching over our Nana from above.
