Things have been a little hectic around here. June 13, my precious Paw Paw fell and broke his neck. It scared all of us to death. We didn't know how to handle this. Because of his age, and he is on blood thinner, surgery was not a logical solution. They have put him in a collar (neck brace) for 3 months to see if the bones will fuse together on their own. Buddy and I took him to the dr. yesterday. The xrays look the same, but there has been no shifting, so that is really good. The dr. is starting to suspect that these may be old fractures, "chronic fractures". We will go again in 6 weeks, and if they xrays are the same again, they will try him out of the collar, and see how it goes. If he does well, then that's the end of it...IF NOT, then we will have to revisit surgery for plates and screw or a fusion.
Saturday morning, we got the saddest call. Buddy's sister, Kelly, passed away on Friday July 9, 2010. This has been really hard on everybody. She had three wonderful children: Jordan (20), Carsyn (17), and Kalyn (13), and a grandbaby on the way: Kylie Jo. Please keep these children lifted up in prayer. They are going to need alot of support to get through this.
We have had a lot on our plate the last month or so. Yesterday was the anniversary of "Granny" being received into Heaven. M&M are so strong, and do everything they can to make us laugh. I don't know what we would do without them. They always make everything better. Please keep them in your prayers. They are dealing with all of this with such a wonderful attitude.
