What Am I Suppose to Do?

It's been a few days since I last posted, but life has been rather hectic. Everything seems to all go down at one time. It just seems like recently if it is not one thing then it is another.
I'm beginning to be a little frustrated with it all. I can only do so much. How am I suppose to do it all?

1. My grandfather is in the nursing home almost an hour and 1/2 away and is not doing well at all. My parents informed me that he once again has "Red Man's Disease" which is a bacteria that covers your entire body making you look as if you have been burned. If the doctors can not get the infection under control it could spread to his vital organs which causes an awful outcome. This is the second time he has had it, but the doctors seem to be more worried this time. He dosent seem to think that he is going to have to stay at the nursing home once his rehab is over, but needless to say he is to the point that he cannot go home alone. He needs 24 hour care/assisted living. Legally, if we were to take him home in his condition we would be put in jail for neglect. What am I suppose to do to help him to deal with this drastic change in his life?
How do I deal with a grumpy old man who is set in his ways?

2. My dad's baby sister is going through the worst divorce one could ever imagine. Needless to say, my heart is broken for her and for her 10 year old daughter Taylor. They are going thru what I would call pure Haiti''s. I would never wish it on anyone. What am I suppose to do to help a family that is being broken apart with this change in their lives? What am I suppose to say to those that I love?

3. Wesley's dad is facing several health problems. Reflux, his eyes (possible glucomea), and major sinues problems. What do I do to help him in his physical illnesses when I am a hundred or more miles away?

4. Wesley resigned from Hillcrest Baptist Church on Sunday. What do I do to encourage him in his Faith? How do I show him that I support/back his decision? How can I assure him that the Lord will open other doors of ministry?

5.To add just one more thing to my plate, my dad is in the planning stages for Gastric Bypass Surgery. Being a critical heart patient, this is a surgery that will either kill him or help him. We won't know either until the surgery has been done. My main concern and the doctor's is wether is heart is strong enough for the surgery. To make matters worse, my dad has NO idea that I know he is planning to have the surgery. It is suppose to be a secret b/w he and my mother. What am I suppose to do and say? Do I give my imput or do I keep my mouth shut?

Enough said...it's been a rough few days. Please be in prayer with me concerning each of the situations.

Out-
Meg
