Hip Replacement Surgery
Not exactly three words you want to here. Tim's sweet 91 year old mother fell Wednesday night at her apartment in Salt Lake City and broke her hip. Ironically her own mother fell when she was 92 and broke her hip. Sadly Memaw passed away a few days later.
Johnnie Belle had surgery for a partial hip replacement yesterday. I'm so grateful to the doctors and nurses who took care of her. Given her age, this was a high risk surgery. Before the nurses took her into the O.R., Lee said we need to have a prayer. We gathered around her bed and Mike offered a comforting prayer.
Johnnie Belle managed a smile just before surgery.
Waiting is so difficult but made easier when your with family. We were all so relieved when the doctor reported that the surgery went well. Johnnie Belle has many weeks of recovery and rehabilitation ahead of her but for now all is well. She's a brave little soldier.
