On July 20 my Mother fell in her back yard. In the fall she received a double compound fracture of her left wrist and broke 5 bones in her right hand also dislocated 3 fingers in the right hand. She spent about a week in the hospital before having surgery to repair both. She now has plates in her left wrist and several pins in her right hand. Mother moved to rehab which turned out to be an awful nursing home while Philip and I renovated a room in my house for her to move into while she recovers. We brought her home to my house and I have been caring for her since.
We went back to the surgeon for the 2nd follow up this last week. He scheduled her next surgery for Isaiah's birthday to remove the pins. Once the pins have been removed her rehab and PT should take off and she should mend more quickly from there.
It has been crazy busy around here juggling her recovery, the end of summer, Dropz of Hope, visitiong Madison and everything else. There have been a few generous people from Mothers church who have helped here and there with a couple meals transport to therapy when I was busy and sitting with her while Zephan had surgery to repair his hernia.
She is gaining some independance each day. And Steve (who by the way was Isaiahs therapist) is AWESOME working with her!!
Maybe by the frst of October Mother will be fully recovered.
Thanks to everyone for all your prayers!!
