While we've targeted most of our posts to keeping you all updated about dad's ongoing battle with lung cancer, it is called WilsonSpot, not RoySpot, so I'd better give you an update on the Wilson matriarch to even things out a bit.
Mom had surgery at Penn Presbyterian Hospital to replace her right hip joint with a brand spanking new titanium wonder. She was in surgery for about 2 hours this morning, and is now in recovery waiting for her room. The next couple of weeks are going to be full of physical therapy to make sure that the new joint is as strong & flexible as possible. To that end, she'll be staying in the hospital until at least Friday to make sure that she is fully recovered from the surgery and that she has a good start on her therapy regimen.
While I know that mom would love to see each of you, visitors are discouraged while she's in the hospital. Plan on visiting after she gets home either Friday or Saturday depending upon some unknown criteria that probably includes the weight of an unladen swallow and the positions of the planets. I know she'll enjoy the company, and you can help her by cheering her efforts at therapy, or just sit back and watch the fun as her coach (dad) encourages her through "just one more set."
On a serious note, I want to thank you all for the prayers that you've laid before the Lord on mom & dad's behalf. We see them answered every day and thank the Lord for such faithful brothers and sisters. If you are looking for specific areas that need your prayers, please pray that mom recovers quickly from her surgery and that her physical therapy is able to get her back on her feet and mobile without too much pain. Please also pray that dad responds well to the COPD treatments and that his appetite is returned. Thank you all again for your faithful support.
