Thank you for the prayers, it was a very scary day.

At 3:45 am, this morning, I received a very frantic phone call from Tim's younger sister Michelle. She was calling to tell me that their mother had fallen down the flight of stairs in their home and Michelle had rushed her to the hospital that is a 1/4 mile down the road from their home.

Sandy suffered multiple concussions, a broken nose and a shattered wrist. The hospital ran 2 ct scans on her to make sure she didn't have any skull fractures. She hit her head multiple times with the fall and black outs following, so they wanted to be positive. (She blacked out and hit her head as she was trying to sit at the kitchen table following her fall.)

Sandy came to the conclusion that she must of been sleep walking because all she can remember is falling down the stairs and her head bouncing as it hit the tile at the bottom of the stairs. The doctors told her that she would of had worse head trauma had she not of tried to catch herself with her hand.

Despite what happened, she looked incredible when the girls and I went to visit her at the hospital. She didn't have any bruising..but was in very obvious discomfort, even with a morphine drip.

I want to thank everyone who lifted her, and the family, up in prayer today. The whole situation could of been a million times worse had Michelle not of been home or had she not of heard her fall down the stairs.

So thank you, to those who prayed for her. Please continue to pray that she has a speedy recovery.
