PLEASE PRAY FOR MY GRANDMA

Please keep my grandma Irene in your prayers. This woman is amazing and inspirational and the perfect example of how a life should be lived. Yesterday morning she fell and broke her hip. Mom and I (and the rest of the family) spent the day at Shawnee hospital. Grandma had surgery this morning. She is expected to be in the hospital for 3-5 days. Then they will move her to another facility that is more like a rehab center. She will be there for 6 weeks. I don't know if grandma can handle being away from her home for 6 weeks. The main concern is that she does not develop pneumonia after surgery. The doctor said that 30% of older patients that break their hip die post surgery bc they get pnuemonia and can't overcome it. They have her on a respirator to minimize the risk of catching it. Nevertheless, she is in a lot of pain. Yesterday I saw my grandma cry for the first time. Jeanie and I were the only ones in the room. Grandma started crying and said, "I'm just a big baby." I promptly told her that she was not a baby and she's the strongest person I know. I told her she would be just fine and we would all get her thru it. She had 54 people in the waiting room 54 people!!! And those were all just children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren. I lost count when her friends started showing up. So please pray for my grandma so that she may have some comfort and a speedy recovery. It would be much appreciated.
