I don't know if this is a sign or what.

I bought a trac fone to call an attorney today; while I was on hold, waiting for him to pick up, my cell phone rang-it was my dad. So I new something happened-my parents never call....I live right next door, so I see them every few days.

My poor stroke victim Dad was on the phone-Bewitched, come over.
It's sometimes hard for him to talk, so I ran over without questions-and found my mom on the floor.

She had fallen. Is now in the hospital-here. Leaving for the Denver hospital in the morning....I'm going with her. My sister from eastern Kansas is driving here in the morning to stay with my Dad and take care of him.

Mom has broken her right hip and left ankle. She is 76 years old. Please pray for her. I know the outcome for people her age, at her level of inactivity, with osteoporosis, is not good. Please, I need all your prayers.

So sorry to hear about your mom. I sure hope everything goes well for her. Keep your spirits up, and don't let that H of yours give you any lip.

BW, take heart that your mom is in the most amazing prayer chain here. I don't know why we are all going through these family or personal health issues right now, but all of them are turning out amazingly well. I am not religious in the traditional sense but there have been many studies done on the power of prayer, positive thoughts toward someone's recovery. Even people who weren't spiritual seemed to heal faster when large groups of people are praying for them/focused on their recovery, even if those people didn't know they were being prayed for or thought of.

Much love to you and your parents.

I'll be thinking about you and sending prayers your mom's way. My grandma, who is 95, just fell and broke her hip. They had to do surgery on her hip but it was minimally invasive. We were fearing the worst at her age, but she has bounced backed pretty well with physical therapy.

I hope it will go well for your mom. Since she's younger, it should be better.

Hugs,
Dawn

I'm praying that your mom will come through this with flying colors! Your H better not give you grief ~ We'll form a posse and come get him! Many blessings to you and your family!

I will pray for you and your mom!! My husbands mom had a fall a few weeks ago and it was scarey...she broke her ankle (she is 73)now she is recovering at home very well. Which i am sure will be the same for you. She also lives 2 doors up so its easy to check on her. Ill include your mom in my next rosary prayers.
