Dear J,  Oh, how my heart goes out to you and your mom...89 yrs. old to have this to face.  My husband broke a vertabrae in his neck while delivering mail and slipping on icey steps many years ago.  The fusion was done for him by the very surgeon that invented the device but, how well, I remember that it was a very hard time for him and he was only 42 then.  No, your mom probably couldn't handle it BUT, with all of us agreeing in prayer with you, we know the one who made her in the first place and through our mediator, Yeshua haMashiac, her bones will be aligned correctly and  be miraculously healed.  We thank Him ahead of time for this act of Mercy and Love on her behalf.  And you, J, may you also be given the strength to deal with these days ahead.  gerlinda   J. Waters (13 March 2012) "Prayer Request" Please pray for a miraculous healing for my 89 year old mom. She fell and fractured a vertebrae in her neck and a rib. The usual procedure is spinal fusion surgery, but the doctors don’t think she can handle it. I’m praying that God does a miraculous aligning and fusing of the vertebrae. Please put my mom on your prayer chains/lists. Thanks. YBIC, J. Waters
