[Oe List ...] Judith Tippett's accident

[Herman Greene]

Mike, Judy, Meg, Kit and Brooke,

 

It doesn't seem all that long that I was one of the priors in the Cleveland
House and the Tippets and Gilleses (as well as others) seemed to always be
ready to go. The Cleveland Region rocked!

 

Time takes its toll, I guess we know that. Yet, I find myself shaking my
head as I hear this report.

 

Mike, you have been a glue to our community, and I know Judith must have
been with you on this. I know you and Judith have served others as shown by
the care your church community has extended to you and Judith.

 

You have my love and prayers, definitely,

 

Herman

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
