Grandfather Has Post-Op Infections

My grandfather had a nephrectomy (kidney removal) surgery last month to get rid of the kidney that was causing him so many problems such as backflow from venous collapse (which required regular stinting) and other problems from a past pseudomonas infection. He was doing well, with only a little diarrhea from the antibiotics, but things took a turn for the worst. My grandmother called my mom tonight and told her that my grandfather was admitted to the hospital with post-op infections. She called the ambulance when he wouldn't eat and wanted to sleep all the time. His diarrhea worsened and he was miserable. He was admitted to a Catholic hospital (where he had the surgery and post-op recovery). His doctor is monitoring him closely and has him on IV antibiotics.

Please pray that he recovers from this. I can't help but worry, even though I know God hears my prayers. If you can include him in your rosary, prayer intentions in Adoration, Mass intentions, etc. I would be most grateful. He is 77 years old so quick recovery is crucial since prolonged infections can reek havoc on his system.
