please

Hi Friends

I can't

believe this, but I need to ask all of you to please put my

family in

your prayers again. I am the one with the son who fractured

his skull

only four weeks ago. He is doing okay while recovering

slowly. I

have since developed pericarditis, which isn't the first

time, and am

dealing with a ton of new drugs to try to control it

before it

gets worse. I just was released from the hospital on Sunday

night. Then,

Monday morning my mother, who will be 79 on June 30, was

in a very

bad car accident. She was crossing a quiet street near her

home on a

green light and was hit by a driver running a red light at

65 mph. She

had to be cut out of the wreckage and air lifted to the

hospital.

She has sustained a head injury, and numerous fractures to

her pelvic

area. She already had a bad hip on the right side. These

fractures

are all on the left side.. the driver's side where she was

hit. The

doctors are still trying to decide if they can do surgery

since she

has a blood clotting condition..the reason she never had

the surgery

to repair the bad right hip. I had to sit in the ER with

her looking

at the woman who hit her all day on Monday while they

stablized my

mother. Needless to say, my lupus soared that day! The

woman who

ran the red light was released the same day with minor

injuries, of

course.

My mom is

now admitted and cannot stand at all. They will begin

physical

therapy for her tomorrow that will be excruciatingly painful
