The gift that I'm most thankful for

The gift that I am thankful for is to have my grandpa alive after what had happened. And the reason behind all this is because on November 10th,2015 a tremendous ruination happened. On that beautiful morning of November my grandfather went into surgery at the Hines V.A hospital for his fistula they had to do surgery because both of his kidneys failed and what the fistula does is its a port in his chest that the doctors hook up to a dialysis machine and the machine pumps his blood and cleans it for him. Basically what the kidney does but instead he has a machine do it for him he needs this to live .We are hoping that in a year or two we can get a surgery that gives him a kidney but until then we have to just sit and wait he goes every other day at 4:00 Am .My mom wakes up and takes him to the hospital it's not every far but it's still a drive . Sometimes I go with her because I like being in a car to drive when it's dark out but I get really tired . But anyways on the 10th is when this all happened and it continued in the hospital for 7 more days he was in a coma for 7 days and once he woke they told us that he was never going to walk again. But then there was a miracle he began using the walker to help him walk when he was still in the hospital unfortunately he was in the hospital for thanks giving . That did not stop our family from having the same celebration that we have on thanksgiving . We would normally do it at my house but not that year we brought the party to the Hines v.a hospital we made all the food and brought it to the hospital . My grandfather was very happy to be with us eating thanksgiving dinner it was a very special day for our whole family because we had my grandfather alive with us . But that surgery was a horrible one they caused a lot of heart ache with my family . Because they overdosed him his heart went crazy and he had a heart attack and he had to get 4 stuns placed in his heart to keep it running. While they did this procedure they transferred him to Loyola hospital thankfully everything went okay and he's okay . Now we face so many new battles we have to get used to but I'm just very thankful that he's still alive and here with us. That's the gift I'm most thankful for!.
