Yesterday my 87 yr. old Grandma took her little dog out in her yard for a little walk. She decided to do it alone without her cane for some reason. Well somehow she got in behind the motor home and fell. She severely fractured her hip. My Aunt, who she lives with, was cleaning house and sat down for a minute in the living room. Her little dog started barking at the door, so she got up and opened the door to let it out and could then hear Grandma calling her. So she went out and found her laying there in terrible pain. They got the ambulance out to the farm to pick her up. When they got her to the hospital they transferred her to a larger center for surgery. She wasn't breathing when they brought her out of surgery, apparently because of fluid on the lungs. They had her on a ventilator and were getting her ready to ship her out to a major hospital when she started breathing on her own and came conscious. So she must have had a lot of people praying for her. She really believes that when it's a person's time to go, they'll go... I'm not sure what she thinks of that now.... I guess she probably still thinks the same. She's not afraid of death, but ya know, we'd really like to keep her for awhile longer.... she is really the cement in our family.....she ties us all together... If you want to know how one of the MANY cousins are doing you call Grandma.... she'll know. Her biggest desire is to see all of her family come to know Jesus, and she has spent the last many years working on that. We had her here for about 3 weeks last summer and it was so nice to have her. I could have just kept her, but she wants to be out where her kids are.
Anyway please remember to pray for her as this is a long and painful road to recovery. Thank you my friends! :o)

Heather, I am praying right now for your grandmother and will continue to remember her in prayer.
My grandmother ("Nan" we call her) also is the cement of our family and before she leaves this earth, it is her desire also to see all our family members serving The Lord.
Thinking of you,
Big Hugs,

Oh, count on me for prayers for Grandma. I pray for all of you! My M-I-L fell and broke her hip, she came thru her surgery very well, I know thru her how painful it was. We serve a mighty God, and he will take care of Grandma!
Blessings
I'm praying, Heather. Please keep us updated.

Jesus, please help Grandma to heal and recover quickly and thank you for the little dog that helped bring attention to what had happened. Amen.

Oh Heather, so sorry to hear about your Grandma. I hope she is feeling much better soon. We will pray for her.
Oh Heather, I am praying for your sweet Grandma right now... hip fractures are so painful and I will pray for comfort and a complete recovery for her!!!!!!
Heather, I think you've been reading my blog long enought to know that I totally understand about grandmas! I will definitely be praying. My 80 yr old grandma also had a short "not-breathing" episode after her heart surgery. That was one month ago today and she went for a walk today! I hope your grandma has a quick recovery and gets to stick around with you a little longer.
Thank you so much!! Reading all your comments brought tears to my eyes...Thank you again... it's so nice to find some wonderful women who also Love the Lord and their neighbour as themselves!!! You are all so awesome.
love Heather
