My Mother and Father retired about 5 years ago from missions. They are currently 65 years old and working full time to make ends meet.
Dad was climbing a ladder to fix a light on the semi-truck he drives yesterday and fell. He had surgery last night. He broke his hip, shattered the femur and some socket or joint where the leg connects to the hip. He was still in recovery last night at bed time.
Please pray for Dad's recovery. This will most likely mean much time off work so prayers for their finances are appreciated. With injuries of this kind there may be lasting pain and limitations and Dad may not be able to go back to work so please pray for them to have courage and wisdom as they face what the near future holds. They may well need to do some downsizing (and they already live very simply). The doctor is talking to Mom about the possibility for him to have to go live at a "rehab unit" as she won't be able to care for him.
God is sovereign. Please pray that my parents are able to discern all the "good" that God means to bring from this situation.
Thanks.

Sis: Thanks for adding this to your prayer list etc. The doctor says it will be 3-4 weeks at a rehab place. However, with prayer etc we hope he heals faster than expected. Pastor Gary and Dad seem to have some sort of a faith connection and Gary's serious prayers for Dad produce positive results about 90 or more % of the time. Don't remember if I told you or not but the bone doctor knows Pastor Gary well, is a Christian who has been to our church etc. Small world!

I'll be praying for your dad. I hope he recovers quickly. Poor guy! And your mom too! And I know you're worried about them...
Hugs,
Jen in Az.
Praying for your dad and mom.
