This is quite a crazy time for my family and me.
My Dad 's elder brother 's widow
80+ year old Aunt Virginia was in pain since
Dec 21st.Mama and I are her only relatives. (She does not have children
and her brother 's children don 't care.)
We got a doctor to examine her and it was discovered that she has
fractured her hip bone and needs to have a steel
rod inserted through surgery.
On Dec 31st we got her admitted in the hospital.
Jan 1st was a crazy day as we had to arrange for a
blood donor. My Pastor and his wife were a tremendous help. Around midnight he found a donor.
The surgery was scheduled for Jan 2nd at 9 am.
We all assembled in the hospital ,
the nurses prepared auntie.
Prayers were said and we waited for them to wheel
her into the OT.
After a long wait (10.30am)
they told us that the operation
has been postponed till Jan 3rd. as
one of the surgeons on the team took off on an emergency leave.
So we have to go through the whole process this morning which is very draining emotionally and physically.

Taking care of Mom 's needs and
house chores.
Sonia is a great help.

PRAYER REQUEST
Please pray for Aunt Virginia.
The doctors have cautioned us that the surgery
is risky due to her age is weak physical condition.
We are very anxious and worried because of that.

Amrita, I am so sorry to hear all the troubles you are facing. I pray that Auntie will find relief and that God sustains you while the load is so heavy. We all love you and your family very much.

Dearest Amrita,
As Gail has said, we love you and your family very much and we will pray for dear Auntie and for you and your mama as you go going through another trial.
The Lord is with you and He will give you the strength fro all of the other activities that you have to accomplish.
What a dear sweet auntie you have that she hadn't complained before even though she was in extreme pain.
You are a good family to her....Love Terry
