If you would, please pray for Granny! On Wednesday last week, she was in a lot of pain all day. Mom finally decided it was best to take her to the ER, and the doctors have been running lots of scans trying to figure out the source of the new and severe pain. Yesterday morning, they informed us that Granny has yet another compression fracture in her spine.
Today they will be running a bone scan to determine how old the fracture is to try to pinpoint what caused it, as well as performing a vertebroplasty on the break. It's supposed to be a minimally invasive procedure that will help her pain pretty quickly. I'm not sure whether that will be today or maybe tomorrow, but we would appreciate your prayers for Granny's quick recovery and that her pain level will come down soon. Mom has been over at the hospital all day every day, which is why the blog has been quiet, so pray for her too as she cares for Granny.
Meanwhile, the rest of us are holding down the fort here at home. We've all been making visits over to the hospital to see Granny and fill her in on what's going on. She hates missing out on the activities. :)
We'll have an update once Granny's procedure is done!

Thanks for the update Sarah. We will be praying for Granny and asking the Lord to heal her and for the surgery to go well.
Blessings,
Victoria

Praying! My aunt had a similar procedure when almost 90 and was bobsledding several years after. I hope it goes as well as hers did!
