Please be praying for my Mom, she fell out of her wheelchair at the nursing home on Monday and broke her hip. She's in the hospital right now but should go back to the NH today. Talked it over with the orthopedic surgeon yesterday after looking at the X-ray and I agree with him that given her age, she's 95, and the position of the fracture, the best thing we can do for her is to let it heal as much as it will on it's own. Don't think she's strong enough for anything invasive like surgery to repair it. She's resting fairly well now and maybe she can get some more time, however I'm a realist if anything and I know what the outcome of this will probably be. Thanks y'all in advance for your prayers....dang good bunch of folks here seems to me.
Update 2.....My mom is back at the nursing home and doing as well as can be expected I reckon. She's much more aware of her surroundings now but still confused as to where she really is at any given time. She knows everyone that comes to visit and is handling being moved for therapy and baths pretty well it seems. The pain meds seem to be keeping her somewhat comfortable at the present...hope that keeps up. Her oxygen sat. is steadily improving day to day. She's now 96-97 % on a nasal at 3 Lt/mn. which is great, I think she'll come off of the oxygen all together soon. She's pretty tough and I hope she makes as much of a recovery as you can at her age...95. I cannot convey to all of you how much your prayers have meant to my family. We (hog hunters) are an extremely diverse group for sure, but we can pull togther when need be like no other bunch I know of....I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for all your support and prayers.....it is much appreciated.
