T&P request - updated
DH's great-grandfather is 97 years old. He has been struggling with his health for the past 6 months (nothing specific, just being 97 and things shutting down really). Well, today he officially took a turn for the worse and the doctor's are saying that he doesn't have much time left. Days, maybe.
DH seems to be okay but his dad and grandpa are really struggling with coping with the fact that he will be gone before the baby arrives.
Any T&Ps you can spare would be great. I'm heartbroken our LO won't meet him. He's been an amazing addition to my life and LO would have loved him.
***Update***
DH and I went to go visit him in the hospital. He's in congestive heart failure, is on 100cc of morphine an hour and looks like he's really struggling. However, we got him to smile. DH told him that we have a baby boy coming and suddenly you could see the life behind his eyes again. Doctors say that they are keeping him "comfortable" though.
I told my mom we aren't coming for Xmas Eve. It's at my aunt's house an hour away from our hospital and it's supposed to snow tomorrow. At 36 weeks pregnant, it's a bad idea for me to go regardless, but this happening solidified that I shouldn't go. My mom is currently throwing a hissy fit like I told her I'm staying home because I want to eat Cheetos and play guitar hero.
Am I irrational for thinking that I shouldn't go? I feel like at 36 weeks pregnant, if you live more than an hour from me, you should come visit me. Plus, she's making me feel like I'm dumb for being there for DH and his family.

Right now, I'm sitting here feeling like a bad person and super guilty because DH is more than likely going to bring up tonight that we should name the baby after him, and I just don't want to (for various reasons).
I hope a miracle happens and Big Pop Pop pulls through and makes it long enough to see the baby, but that's highly unlikely at this point.
