Please Pray for My Mother
self | Bigg Red

Posted on 05/18/2006 1:55:46 PM PDT by Bigg Red

My mother Marie will be 94 next month, and she has been a faithful Catholic all of her life. She fell and fractured her hip, and, as I post this, she is currently in the hospital awaiting the surgeon's decision on whether he will operate tonight or tomorrow.

Fortunately, her heart and lungs are in good shape, so she is a good candidate for surgery, but she has senile dementia. The source of concern for our family, based on what her primary care physician has said, is that she may not go through rehab well enough to go back home. As I am sure everyone knows, often elderly people go downhill fast after this sort of injury.

Please pray for this dear lady. She raised 9 children, and she has 28 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren, and 2 great great grandchildren.

Update:

Thank you all so much for your prayers and for your words of encouragement.

Mother seems to be determined to get better and is responding well to physical therapy. She walked about 6 feet yesterday while holding on to paralell bars!! I could tell by her grimacing that it was difficult for her, but she did it. Our gracious Lord is watching over her!

Please, please continue to pray for her.

Prayers for your mother.

+ To God be the Glory ... Great things He has done, and continues to do.

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that Your hand is upon this beloved mother ... continue to strengthen her physically, O Lord, that she would soon be able to return to the warmth of family and home. Thank You for her determination ... let it not lessen in any way ... may she remain focused and determined, and may she be surrounded with staff members who share and delight in her progress.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, may it be thus, O Lord, may it be thus, Amen ...

Please ping your prayer lists for this update.

I thank all prayer warriors for their many prayers for my almost 94-year-old (on June 22) mother, Marie, who is still in the rehab facility recovering from a fractured hip. We feel your prayers.

Her prognosis is pretty good. She is responding well to rehabilitation and has been able to walk with the aid of a walker. She is up to about 30 feet now!

Please continue to pray for this dear lady.

Thank you all, so much!

Update

My dear Mother has responded well to physical therapy -- yesterday, she began doing stairs -- and she will most likely be released on June 21.

She will be home just in time to celebrate her 94th birthday on June 22!
