We got the call at 3 a.m. Granddaddy Mac is in the emergency room. Get there as soon as possible.
He had been fighting lung and throat cancer, along with COPD. He started throwing up blood around 2 a.m. and went into cardiac arrest soon after. His brain was without oxygen for 40 minutes.
At 6 they told us he was basically gone. They will keep him on a respirator for 24 hours, but there was no brain activity and he was not breathing on his own. As soon as they take him off the respirator, he will pass away immediately.
So make sure you cherish your loved ones today. We celebrated Christmas with him yesterday and I am thankful we got to see him right before. You never really know...
