Yesterday my mom fell off a ladder, landed on her back, and fractured her T10. They went to the hospital in Wharton, then transferred to Memorial Herman downtown, at about midnight.
She laid on a bed, in the hospital hallway until around noon today when a doctor finally saw her and did an MRI.
After over 24 hours, they decided that she needed "emergency" surgery. She went into surgery about 4pm today. It was expected to last about 3 hours. Of course they don't have a room for her, so she'll have to stay in recovery until one is available.
I don't know all the medical mumbo jumbo, but they're fusing the vertebrae around the broken one and doing some other stuff to get rid of the bruising and swelling. There's still a chance that she'll come out of this a paraplegic.
She's a cantankerous old woman, but your prayers can't hurt.
If you're specific in your prayers, her name is Pam Krenek.
