Please say a prayer for Emily, her grandmother Rowena, and their family. Rowena fell Tuesday night around 9pm-10pm while going to answer the phone in the kitchen. Emily was already in bed, and is a very sound sleeper. Rowena laid there calling out to Emily finally waking her up. Emily did such a good job, she called Helen at work and Helen called 911 (of course beating the ambulance to the house.) Emily made sure that she was comfortable by getting her a pillow and blanket until help arrived. We are very proud of her!!

Rowena is at Harton Regional in Tullahoma awaiting surgery. Her Dr.’s have said that her blood was too thin and they do not want to operate yet. They will have to do the surgery by Friday because they do not want her to lie in bed any longer than that. She will be receiving a HEMI (partial hip replacement). She will have a very extensive recovery process spending 4-5 days in the hospital, approximately 4 weeks in rehab, and then around 8 weeks at home requiring someone with her at all times.

Please keep them in your prayers!
