Dear Tippett's All,

Judy, and you, Mike as chief organizer and giver of care.

>> Dear Friends:
>>
>> 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.
>>
>> Grace, Peace, and Love,
>>
>> Mike
