A big thanks for all the prayers!! Mom's surgery was a success. She did not have to have the TKR. She only had to have the replacement between the joints. She is not doing real well with her physical therapy and we are not real sure if she will ever walk again.
She is so depressed. She does not talk to us anymore, she does not read, and has not interest in eating, watching TV, talking on the phone. She only wants to sleep. Her family Dr has talked her into taking an anti-depressant. It is beyond me how she has been through all she has and not had to take any medication for depression.
It is not like the depression happened after Todd got killed. She was this way about 3 weeks before died. Sometimes I just wonder, if somehow mama knew something was going to happen to her baby. I know God is capable of anything and I often wonder did he speak to her and tell her. Mama had been praying out loud for Todd. I have never heard my mom do that before. My sister heard her several times during the day praying for him. Perhaps she did know... I know it is probably the most difficult thing a parent could go through. I don't know if I could do it.. My mom has buried 3 of her children.... God bless this wonderful women
But keep the prayers coming... Mama needs them.. Pray for God to use her- so she can share her testimony with someone who has lost there hope. Mama knows all about hope and she certainly knows of Gods love and magnificent grace.
