My mom needs prayers......

My mother was in a terrible car accident yesterday afternoon. She was driving home from P.T. and apparently fell asleep at the wheel. She veered off the road, into a ditch, hit a tree and the front end of the car tipped down and the roof was resting on the tree. She has broken a vertibrae in her back and will need surgery. They live up in Northern WI, and I am going to head out there tonight or tomorrow morning. Her surgery might be tomorrow. She is in alot of pain. I had a short talk with her this morning and the nurse had started to rise her bed up a bit and mom cried out. It just made me bawl. I just am asking for friends here on TCS to send prayers to my mother. She is eighty years old and this will be a tough recovery.

The whole family is suppose to be gathering at the end of July up in Door County at my parents house for a family reunion and photo. The first thing my mom said in the emergency room yesterday (when I was talking to my dad) was that "we are NOT cancelling the family reunion, and we are going to get that family photo, no matter what"..... That's my mom. Thank you for any prayers and I will try to keep you posted.

Sounds like a lady with a grand spirit. Prayers on the way. I hope the surgery goes well and she has an easier recovery than expected. for you, too, as you do what you can to support her.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's accident and injuries. How scary! I'm sending lots of healing vibes her way...

Many for successful surgery and a speedy recovery for your mom.

Oh Lauren how scary!!!!! Prayers and vibes on the way. I have to agree with Fran - it sounds like something like this won't slow her down much. Maybe for a little while.

But lots of prayers and vibes on the way that that IS the case, and for a quick recovery (and a wonderful family reunion!)!

Safe travels to you.

for your mom!! And to you!!!

Lauren, good vibes for your mom and for all the family that she is fine well in time for the reunion.

Oh Lauren, how scary I am sending lots of prayers and vibes her way

I hope the surgery is a success and she has a super fast recovery
She sounds like an amazing lady

hope she is feeling better soon!

Oh no!...

my best wishes to her!...

I hope her surgery goes well, and she recovers quickly

Thank you SO much everyone. My mom also has a bruised heart from the impact. She is pretty banged up. . Mom and dad had a talk with the neurosurgeons this afternoon. She will not be having surgery quite yet. And this is good news . They fitted her with a back brace. My spine just curled when dad told me this because of her tremendous pain in any movement. I hope they had her pumped up with pain meds for the fitting. I am driving up there tomorrow morning now instead of tonight. Will stay with my dad for a day or so and visit mom a few time too. Your prayers are much appreciated

Loads and loads of good for your mom. Hopefully she has a smooth, quick recovery.

Oh Lauren, that's so heartbreaking
Lots of to your mother and wish her a speedy recovery

I wish her and your family good thoughts, prayers and a good dose of that great TCS magic. and
