Please Pray for My Mother

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.

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You for the many years You have given this beloved mother, even unto the fourth generation. Just as You have blessed her with the quantity of days, may she now be blessed with the quality of time, that she would far exceed any medical expectation for surgery and recovery ... lead her, O God, in all that needs to be done that she might return to the love and warmth of home and family.
Lift the veil of dementia that she would understand ... grace her medical and rehab teams with the ability to communicate with her, that she would be able to participate in her recovery ... protect her from any further injury ... keep her strong and able and motivated.
Thank You for this dear woman of faith, Merciful Father ... may she continue to be the joy and delight of her family for many more days to come. Restore her and refresh her, O God, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen ...

I'm sure your Mom knows she has a wonderful daughter and that alone should give her peace and comfort. May you and your family be the strength she needs to pull through this. Thinking about you, Bigg Red.
