Prayer request for my MIL - Page 3

**Dartgod** · 03-09-2005, 08:24 AM

Today my mother-in-law is having the first of two surgeries to repair a fractured vertabrae in her back. This will be her 5th and 6th back surgeries. Every time they fuse one level, the level above it breaks because her bones are soft and weak. This is a result of her numerous medical problems. She is diabetic, on dialysis 3 days a week and has had a heart bypass. Needless to say, because of her medical history and previous back surgeries, this is a riskier operation than normal. 7-10 days after todays surgery they will operate again to put in hardware that hopefully will stabilize her entire spine. I have asked for prayers for her before and believe they have helped, so again I ask you all to think good thoughts and pray for a successful surgery and a quick recovery.

Thanks!

Ditto what kcnut said, except for the passing part. That was a poor choice of words.

If Mark M can survive major back surgery, I'm sure your MIL will be fine. Tell Soph hey and that I said you should provide her with plenty of sexual favors to reduce the stress.

Your family is always in my prayers, my friend. Will double the effort.

At least I understood what he was saying. That's an improvement.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. She came through the surgery just fine and resting well now. For awhile last night, it was kind of rough for her. She had been getting sick (a common effect of the anesthesia for her) and was in a lot of pain. They gave her an injection for the nausea and the morphine kicked in and she was a lot better.

Mods, you can let this drop for now. I will bring it back to the top when she has her second surgery sometime next week.

Thanks again to everyone for thinking of her.

Good to hear, Bob. Take care.

Very nice to hear!

OK, round two is scheduled for tomorrow. This is going to be the more difficult of the two surgeries. The first was to repair the fractured vertabrae and lasted about two and a half hours. This one they are going to attempt to stabilize her spine with a bunch of hardware and could last 8-10 hours. Sure could use your all's prayers again.

Could a mod pin this to the top once again?

**Bowser** · 03-14-2005, 08:44 PM

Hope all goes well for her.

Wow, 8 to 10 hours? That's a long long time.

My prayers to you and your family.

**Rausch** · 03-15-2005, 12:08 AM

Will do...

But keep in mind that me praying for someone is like asking the paperboy to put in a good word for you at a brokerage...
