Thank you, GoWilkes for removing identifying information. Imagine, if this were your loved one...unbelievable that a visitor could be so crass. The nurse should be spoken to as well for her lack of confidentiality. If it is even true. I doubt that a hospital worker would betray confidence.

Sorry Os, but the OP should not visit hospitals. To take such liberties without knowing...it,s just incomprehensible. It is so disrespecting

Osmosis, do as your name says and let this comment permeate your membrane. Politics has nothing to do with caregiving.

OP, one thought that quickly came to my mind is, assuming the grandson really was the only one staying with the sick grandfather, then why didn't YOU sincerely offer to relieve the grandson from time to time?

As stated by others, the sick man does have other family members that are present at different times. Did it ever occur to you that even IF the grandson was the only one/main one staying, it is because he has the flexibility to do so and the others don't...so he volunteered.

Os, God bless your wife for being the obviously great caregiver she is. But I have to comment that some people are natural born caregivers and have all the requirements it takes, and, others just aren't cut out for it. That doesn't mean they don't care, or, that they are bad people. Caregiving is a special quality that some have/develop and not all are blessed with it. JMO

Followthalord- Don't you feel bad about your reaction. What you saw as a bad situation happens more often than not. My father and my mother had to be in a nursing home a few years back and I saw several people that only had 1 person looking after them or visiting them. Some were just put in there and left with no one looking in on them for days and weeks. My wife now lives with her invalid mother and keeps her day in and day out. She's taken care of her brother and father both with cancer. Her sister goes on and lives her life like nothings wrong. She hardly ever helps her. My mother-in- laws grandchildren never visit or even call. The bible says you should honor your father and mother. I think that means you should help them in their latter days.

You Liberal goons on here should be ashamed of your response to this good person. You should die in an old stinky Nursing Home with no one to hold your hand.

Seriously, you owe this family an apology. Please stop going into hospitals, the damage you do is really dreadful. What a jerk!

At the OP, I guess you meant well, but as "they" say, one should never assume without knowing ALL the facts. Maybe you should post an apology to his family?

You really shouldn't judge because you don't know all the details. **** is well taken care of.

I removed a few posts that were off topic and/or trolling.

Hey I'm the grandson u talking about if ud come around during day u would see my dad and aunt his two kids with him yes I stay it's my choice if I need time away I get it and please don't be downing the family we already having it bad enough thank u all who telling this person how it is

I have prayed and hope The Lord answers them the kids of this man

maybe if you "followthalord"...you wouldn't have this problem of worrying about how anyone's kids treat their parents.

You would be on your knees praying or maybe offering them assistance in their troubles.

btw...it really wasn't any of your business asking the "lady" anything about this patient. Undoubtedly she was an employee of the hospital, otherwise how would she know if his kids visit day or night or not at all.

As I suggested...you need to "followthalord"

As I visit the sick in hospital every day tonight I stumble upon a man named **** ***** he is the best man alive hands down in my book as was talking to him and his grandson. As was leaving a lady in the hall who works there I ask if his grandson stats all time she said yes his two kids has yet to stay a night and give the grandson a break to rest or enjoy life I tell u what that is one darn dedicated grandson if anyone knows him please give him thanks and a pat on back if u see him I'm dearly sadden how the children of preacher dean are
