On Monday the 8th we got a call from the assisted living place telling us that Mike’s mom had fallen and they wanted to know what hospital to have her transported to. They thought perhaps her leg was broken, but it was hard for them to tell because she was in so much pain. We met her at the ER and later found it was her hip that had broken. She was admitted and they did surgery on her hip the following day. Since the surgery she has had an assortment of problems from low blood counts requiring transfusions to utter confusion and dementia type issues. Over the weekend things improved for her mentally, but she is still a bit confused. She is doing physical therapy each day for her hip and learning how to balance sitting up again.
She has been accepted at a skilled nursing/rehab facility near us and now we are waiting on her to improve enough to be discharged and moved over there for more full time rehab.
Our hope is that she will do well enough to return to the assisted living place again, but for now we are taking it day by day. It’s been a long 9 days for all of us, including the girls who routine has also been disrupted by all the visits to the hospital.
We appreciate all those who have offered prayers for Linda and help to us. I hope to get back to regular blogging soon.
