> I’m sorry that only partial  fragmented information has been out
> regarding Judith’s accident.  A week ago tonight, Judith lost her balance
> and fell when getting out of bed shortly after retiring for the night.  She
> hit her head on her nightstand, and landed on her leg and scraped skin off
> her arm.  When I couldn’t turn her over to get her to stand without
> tremendous pain, we called 911 and she was taken to Manatee Memorial
> Hospital here in Bradenton.  X-ray revealed she had broken her thigh bone
> (femur).  The bump on the head didn’t break the skin, just gave her a
> large purple section of her forehead.  Her skin is quite thin, thus the
> skin tear, which is healing.
>
> They did surgery on her leg Monday at noon, and put in a pin to mend the
> bone.  Judith had complications following the surgery, and was taken from
> the recovery room to the Intensive Care Unit Monday evening.  She had
> difficulty coming out of the anesthesia, and wound up on a respirator and a
> feeding tube, etc, etc.  They kept her under sedation until Wednesday, to
> alleviate anxiety waking up to all the tubes and technology surrounding her.
> Her red cell count was low, her blood pressure was low, her platelet level
> was very low, and there seemed to be internal bleeding in her stomach.   She
> has moderate liver disease, which apparently aggravates  these other
> problems.
>
> She is recovering well from the surgery, no longer is on the respirator,
> and is eating soft food and liquids orally.  The other problems are, or
> are in the process of, being stabilized.  She was moved to a regular
> room today.  (now Monday, April 16th.  When she is able, she will need
> physical therapy to aid in her future mobility.  Judith has been using a
> walker (the neat 4-wheeled type complete with storage and a seat) for the
> last 2 years.
>
> We are surrounded by an exceptional caring church congregation, who are
> supplying meals, concern, and prayers.  Plus, we have 2 fantastic
> caregivers for Meg, so we don’t have to worry about *her* care.  Kit and
> Brooke offer support by frequent phone calls.  Thank goodness for cell
> phones.   Judith still needs prayers for her recovery and improved health
> for the near future.
>
> Thank you for your prayers and concern.
