My Mother-In Law

She's 85.

Two days ago she rolled her car as she was driving to visit her daughter who lives an hour away.
They think maybe she went to sleep at the wheel.

Now she's in the hospital with a broken vertebra and a back brace. I haven't talked to her, because she was not able to handle the phone just yet. They say she is badly bruised.

Over the years, she has been my prayer partner. Whenever I had a crisis here, she knew just what to say to make things better, and she has prayed this family through many difficult decisions.

Now it's our turn to pray.

UPDATE--She has been moved to rehab, but isn't up to a visit yet. She wants us to wait until she is home and then come stay for a week and help her. Right now her son and daughter are with her, taking turns.
