Scared and unsure for Moma
Please pray for my Mom Annette, she fell in May and fractured the T9 disc in her back just above the lower fusion she had years ago. By the grace of God she was able to complete an MRI that was ordered by the new Neurologists. They called yesterday with the results, not good news. The fracture is more serious than what they could see on the prior x-rays taken at the hospital. She has very little spine stability and her spinal cord is jeopardized. Paralysis is a serious concern if surgery to stabilize the narrowing part of the spine doesn't happen. They explained why she was having trouble walking and why she wants to fall forward due to her spine instability. The appt. To see the neurologist isn't until 8/11, so they said if her condition gets worse, she should go to the ER. They will evaluate and contact the neurology dept. Treatment. My Mom just turned 77 yrs old
and she has a lot health issues. We are both so scared because she is high risk for surgery and she is afraid of having complications like she had after the back surgery she had in 2018. She got a staph infection one month after the operation and they had to reopen the incision to remove the infection. She had to wear a wound vacuum pump and have the wound dressed daily for 9 1/2 months. It was a nightmare
Please pray for her and for me to make the right choices for her. She is the best mothe  r and friend I could hope for and she has taught me so much about our Heavenly Father Jesus Christ. I ask for God to Bless you all for your prayers for my Mom.
