Prayers needed

[Destroyer]

My mom fell last night. She's 94. She broke her leg just below the hip joint. Surgery is needed to repair the break. Surgury is not an option, it must be performed. Due to other health issues without the surgury the doc says she will die. Because of those same issues she has a 1 in 5 chance of not making it off the operating table. I believe in God and the power of prayer, so I'm asking all of you that if you might be so inclined could you please take a moment and say a prayer in her behalf. Her name is Eleanor. Thank you

UPDATE

She's much better, but the hard part (the operation) comes tomorrow morning. Left leg femur broken just before the bend into the hip ball. Operation puts a plate on the outside of the bone and a long screw into the ball to pull it tight against the other end of the bone. Doc says that she should be able to walk on it tomorrow evening!!!! (With soreness but still..!!.) He's very optimistic about the outcome of the operation...said that if she had to break the bone, that it was absolutely the best place to break it. But she still has to get over the operation itself. She doesn't tolerate anesthesia very well...so that's the huge stumbling block at this time. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!! I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME. God bless you all!!

Monkey, her name is Eleanor Irene

Good Luck!! Good to hear there is some good being said!!

[Destroyer]

THANK YOU ALL

This is one of those stories that has a happy ending. Although groggy when I saw her, she came thru the operation with no real hitches. Doc said there was a little bleeding during the operation, and because of some ostiporosis they had a little problem seating the screw in the ball, but it was minor. The end result is that they expect her to start rehap and be walking tomorrow. Prayers do work, and I think this is a perfect example. Thank you Jesus. Thank you everyone.

I'm a little late on this one Destroyer. Apologies for that.
Glad to hear she's doing better and I will pray for continued improvement on her health.

[lathehand]

:clap:Theres alot to be said about bnthe mpower of prayer.I will continue mine until she's well again.

[Destroyer]

Went after work to see her today. They made her get up, walk to a chair and sit in it for an hour, then walk back to her bed. (The object of course is to get her moving and walking). Tomorrow they will lenghten the distance between her bed and the chair, and increase the time to an hour and fifteen minutes. But the really amazing thing (to me anyways) is that she's walking on a bone that she snapped three days ago. Modern medicine has come a long way for sure!! Thank you God :party:




(CB, as long as a persons heart is in the right place there's never a need for apologies... thanks for the kind thoughts) :)
