Not So Great News


To All;

Most of you know by now that Mom had a pretty bad automobile accident this week. On her way to work she spilled coffee while driving and in trying to deal with it, she rolled her car. She's resting comfortably in Winchester Medical Center. We're not sure for how long but I'll keep updates here on the blog. So far we know she has a "Structured Fracture of the C-5 Vertibrae" Commonly known as a broken neck. She has full mobility with not even a hint of paralaysis. No broken bones and only a couple of superficial cuts. No stitches, etc. She is in a neck brace and cannot move her head yet because of the fracture.

I know you all will keep her in your prayers. Feel free to call my cell phone or leave a message on our home answering machine. I"ll get back to each of you.

UPDDATE 5/16/08

Mom is home from the hospital and doing remarkably well. Thanks to ALL of your prayers and well wishes. She is in a cervical collar and is getting around slowly, but moving. She sees the Neuro Surgeon in two weeks to access the progress but at this point no surgery is planned. It will be a slow process but that is ok. We thank God that it isn't any worse than it is. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. It HAS made a difference.

Work has begun on renovating the "hole" transforming it into a master bedroom suite.


 

Plans will include an updated bathroom with shower.

 

Extending the window to a 5 foot extended height and a triangular shaped window in the new bathoom.

 

I'll post more pictures as work progresses.
