Haven't posted much lately. We just cleared Hurricane Irene. Last Friday evening, my hubby fell on his back about eight feet from a ladder. He has a fracture in his lower back. We spent the weekend in two different ER's and hospitals. We are home and he is in a back brace and getting around with a rolling walker. I am learning how to be nurse. I have to nap when he does so I can keep going. He is taking pain meds, and a shot I have to give him every day to prevent blood clots. The surgeon said only maybe two percent chance he would need any surgery. We are very thankful. His sisters home was flooded nine and half inches from the hurricane. They were doing cleaning on Sunday. She fell and broke her shoulder in three places. Our daughter fell a week or so ago, broke her ankle and busted open the knee she just had surgery on. We are stressed. Please remember my family in your prayers and I thank you for it.

I will absolutely keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. Use this time to slow down a little if you can and concentrate on all of the things that really matter. I am glad your husband, SIL, and daughter are okay and I pray for quick healing for them all.

Oh my! I can't believe all of that happened at once. I am sure this is going to be a stressful time for you and the rest of your family. I guess you are extremely lucky there is only a 2% change he will need surgery. You will be in my thoughts

Oh Barb, It is times like these when you find out how strong you are and you will get through this. I do not know why things all happen at once like that. I am sending you and your family prayers.
