I cannot even begin to tell you all how much your sweet messages & prayers have meant to me! You are all just so great!
My brother and I drove down yesterday for the day to see our grandma. My parents opted not to have the hip surgery after much consultation with the doctors, because the risks were just too great. She will be moved to a skilled nursing center on Tuesday, and will be bedridden for the next couple months while her body hopefully can heal some on its own. Of course, there are many complications that can set in with this as well, so we will definitely continue to ask for your prayers. She really doesn't feel much pain, thanks to medication, but that also makes her a bit drowsy and under the weather. It was nice to see her joking with one of the nurses that she was going to sneak out of there without them knowing. It's just amazing to think about all that she has seen and experienced in her almost 91 years on this Earth, and you just want her to continue having dignity and quality of life as much as she can.
Thank you for being such special friends!!
