I haven't tried this way until now... but here my attempt:
sana yardım edebilsem edeceğim. Sen onu bilirsin... Senin istediğin şey nedir? büyükbabam hala hastanededir, ama iyileştir.

Don't put -dir after everything  it is not good for normal usage. You should know it is used for formal/official/encyclopedic informations. Example:
Ankara Türkiye'nin başkentidir.
Or if you have a guess, you can use it:
Görüşmeyeli uzun zaman oldu, büyümüştür.
It has been a long time since we saw each other, (I guess) he has grown up.
Edebilsem edeceğim is ok but it is some more general than you can say. It may mean "I cant help" or "I can help" both. And there is no decision to help him/her. Here is what I advice: "yardım edebilirsem ederim". << here, there is decision: I will help, if I can.
"you know" is translated as "sen bilirsin" better for saying something in doubt and like "you know, this is your decision". But here, we have a fact, "you know that..". so, we should say: "biliyorsun..."
Let's combine: "biliyorsun, yardım edebilirsem ederim"
Last note: iyileşmek > iyileşiyor (continous: getting better)

Thank you, Caliptrix, for replying in such a detailed manner to my simple attempt! That's the way I can understand and improve.
