Sydney Gran, the third of Gran’s four daughters, was born with Holoprosencephaly or “HPE” and was given only weeks to live. Doctors said she would never walk or talk and there was no way to fix it.
“Every morning when you wake up you’re not sure if this is the day she’s going to quit breathing,” Eddie said. “And that’s an awful way to live. We were miserable.”
During this difficult time, Gran found peace in his faith and relationship with God. Gran believed in God and attended church whenever he could but considered himself a “fence rider” when came to true faith.
