Grunta's health update  9 August 2013

Hi everyone, Ifm sorry to say this is not good news to share. Grantfs health in the last week has deteriorated severely. Grant contracted Pneumonia last week, it came on suddenly and he was admitted to hospital. It has been a long week of trying to treat and lessen the symptoms but the medicine has had little effect. This has meant that Grant has now been moved to Hospice for full time care and the likelihood of him returning home is very minimal. Further tumours were found during an MRI scan last week also. There is no further treatment over pain management that can be given to him. So now itfs about trying to make him as comfortable as possible. Desiree is at Grantfs bedside- She is amazing and is incredibly strong given the circumstances. You Rock lovely. The family have most things in hand but your support is so welcome. Please feel free to post up on the Facebook VW resto page anything you like for Grant and Desiree to show your support. The project will continue regardless of the coming weeks outcome with Grant's health and we are beginning to draft up plans to deliver the car to Desiree and her family via a car run with as many hot rods, muscle cars and of course VWs as we can muster with a view to do a final fundraiser for either hospice or The Cancer society which we hope to do in approximately 6-8 weeks as the car still has about that much work to be completed. Erica.
