A fall...

On Monday the 16th of September, my mother had a very serious and near fatal fall.  

On Wednesday the 18th of September, as her Guardian,  I authorized emergency surgery and she went to the operating room though the anesthesia itself could end her life on the table. There was no choice the Dr told me.  She had no time to say goodbye to anyone...she had to go to the operating room or that was it.  I went to the chapel and prayed, made my decision, came back and told the surgeon to go ahead.

During this latest fall, she suffered a very serious head injury losing over half of her entire blood volume, she suffered a fractured spine, and two fractured arms with her right arm being broken with compound fractures.  She had a cardiac event and on top of that, a blood clot.                                                               

My mom has been very ill over the last year and a half and slowly failing. During this time she has continued to become extremely frail.  She only weighs 114 pounds.

Please pray for my mom.  She can use your prayers. 

Thank you.
