Hi Everyone,I hope you all are doing very well!I am writing to ask for prayers for my grandma. She fell overnight and broke her hip. I don't know much more about the current situation yet, unfortunately, except that she is in surgery and definitely needs prayer! My grandma already has congestive heart failure, so, this is particularly bad. There is a family history of congestive heart failure then breaking hips, and it tends to be the beginning of "the end". That is how my great grandma died (her mom). So, I am very sure my grandma is thinking about that right now -- prayers for positive thoughts for her would also be wonderful!

Here is the silver lining. My grandma lives in Florida, and my mom is currently visiting her. My mom heard her get up and was able to get her medical attention much more quickly than she would have gotten had this happened tomorrow night (when my mom was scheduled to come hom) or any other night my mom wasn't there. Also, my mom is retired, so, she is able to stay with my grandma for awhile, to help her get through this and figure things out for her. I just thank God this happened now!

I am very close with my grandma, as are my kids and dh. She comes up here every few months and stays for a month at a time. She's a huge part of our lives! This is very scary for all of us. Thank you in advance for your prayers for my grandma! I do appreciate them GREATLY! ~Jane
**My grandma's name is Fay Bungard, fyi. Thanks!

Prayers for a speedy recovery post surgery, and comfort throughout the entire healing process. I also pray for God's hand to guide the surgeons during her surgery.

I am all to familiar with grandmas falling. It's soo scary, we have been lucky enough so far she hasn't broken anything, but the doctors think that everytime she falls, its due to a mini-stroke, and each time she looses a bit more of her brain functions. I'm keeping you and your family in my heart right now!

I wanted to give an update and ask for more prayers. My grandma took a turn for the worse today. She was re-admitted to the hospital because she has a clot in each lung. She is listed as critical but stable right now and is still (amazingly) in good spirits. However, this is a VERY critical situation. If either clot dislodges it could (and would most likely) be fatal. So, she is on huge doses of blood thinners, which has its own problems, especially since she is having trouble getting up to move around as it is. This now increases her risk of pneumonia even more. So, please, please, please, continue or please start to remember her in your prayers! All are appreciated!
Thanks,
Jane :)
