Dear friends, thank you for your good wishes and prayers. God has been our refuge and strength through this sudden crisis.
Mama had a fall in the wee hours of Dec 28th and was hospitalized the next day. It was all so bewildering that I just broke down this time. The flood just overwhelmed me But the Lord reached out and pulled me out. So many prayers were answered one by one that my faith and trust was strengthed.
My sister Sonia and family had arrived a day earlier - their presence was a great help. ( They left 2 days back when my younger sister reached Alld.). My younger sister Namrita arrived on Jam 4th with her younger (11 yr old ) son. She is relieving me of hospital duties (12 am to 7 pm)My elder sister and BIL (Prem & Anju) will be here sometime after Jam 16th. This is a great comfort, I could not have taken care of mother all by myself , physically challenged as I am.
A metal rod was inserted into her femur bone which was fractured from the neck. It has been screwed in place. Her body has adjusted to the prosthesis also called the intramedullary rod. Pain is much less. She is allowed to sit up and exercise her leg. But she cannot put any weight or pressure on her leg for 6 weeks from the date of the surgery.
She will be confined to bed for another 5 weeks. Then an x-ray will be taken and the doctor will advise us further about her movement.
He is positive that she will be able to walk. Tomorrow she is coming home. We will be taking care of all her needs on the bed.Mama likes to do things her way so lying flat on her back makes her impatient and irritated at times. The age factor is playing. It is a difficult task for us all.
Several needs -physical, emotional, spiritual and financial have mushroomed around us. I have to realign my life to all this. 2011 was a year of trials which grew more fiery since October and now a new chapter has been added. Plus there are administrative difficulties I am facing some challenges in my church ministry which have to be dealt with.
I request prayer for all this. I feel exhaused and drained out at times.
On New Year 's Day brother David Phillips came to pray with Mama and me in the hospital. He very prophetically read Psalm 27 for us. verse 12 stuck in my heart
"Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies;
and also verses 13 and 14
"I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait on the Lord be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart;wait I say,on the Lord."
I have chosen Ps 27:12 as the verse and prayer for 2012.

Dear Amrita ~ May you feel the love, peace and strength of Jesus flowing through and surrounding you at all times. I'm glad to hear your mother is doing well. May her recovery be swift.
That's a great verse/prayer you have chosen for 2012.
Here is a beautiful portion of scripture that blesses my heart, may it do the same for you.
It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
Lamentations 3:22-26

Oh my, my heart goes out to you and your family. I have had my low moments as well in 2011 as well so I can totally relate. You are in my prayers. You and your mom will get through this.
Praying the requests you have made. Sit yourself at His feet my friend and let Him fill you.
He never gives us more than we can handle...if we keep ourselves in constant tune with Him. Each trial that comes gives us the opportunity to become more like Him...refining our character to His.
Be not discouraged...the victory is already yours in Him.

Your mother, you and your entire family are in my prayers.
Glad the needed repair has been done and your mom can come home as she will probably feel better in her own surroundings. I hope your strength holds up during this trial. I have been thinking about you! And am wishing your mom recovery.
Dearest Amrita,
Good to know about the results of the surgery. I've been praying for your and your Mom. You're a warrior, Amrita. I'm glad to hear about your family coming to help you and comfort you.
(((( love and prayers sent your way ))))

I heard much about strikes in health service in India, were they in Allahabad? I'm hope that You didn't have problems.
Your Mother were in my prayers by this time.
I wish her health and strenght.
I will take your requests, each and every one to the Lord in prayer, He is so faithful to answer!

Dear Amrita,
I am relieved to learn that you mother is getting better ad that she's returning home tomorrow.
You are lucky to have such a big family. I often wish I had more relatives to lean on. They are more worth than gold.
I am still praying for you, your mother and your church.
I feel confident that your problems will be sought out and that God cares for his children day and night.
May his grace remain over you always.
It's so hard when a loved on goes through such a trial as this. I always had a hard time when some major health problem afected my mother, but the Lord was always there to comfort and uplift me. That what he's doing for you as well. Keep the Word of God close to you and your mom and lean upon Him. I'll continue praying for you and that you will have all the help that you need.
God Bless you, Amrita.
"My grace suffices thee".
Hi Amrita,
I'm so sorry about your mother's fall. But I'm glad you have family support to help.
