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.
Prayers sent.
Praying.
Thank you.
Update on my mother.
Thank you all for your prayers. God is so good!
Mother sailed through the surgery, and it turned out her fracture was the least problematic of the possible scenarios that the doc said would be on the table until he could actually have a look. Fortunately, she has very strong bones for a woman nearly 94. Taking care of 9 kids and a husband for all those years get her pretty fit, I guess.
I ask that all please continue to pray for her that her rehab is successful and that she is able to walk again.
Again, thanks, everyone, for your caring and compassion. FR prayer warriors are incredible!
Prayers for your Mum! God bless her!

Prayer bump
DUDE!
Where you bean? ;o)
LOL! I've been away from home, with almost no computer access for the last couple of weeks. Just now catching up on some of the Ahmadinejad threads I've missed.
I don't want to hear that crap...you need to go get yourself an internet capable cell phone!
And no lip, mister ;o)
LOL! I hate cell phones. If God had wanted me to walk down the street talking loudly to no visible listener, He'd have made me crazy.
