Please pray for this very special lady in our parish. Her name is Addie. She fell and broke her hip. The family is considering whether or not to try and do surgery to try and fix the hip. If they don't do the surgery, she won't be able to walk. The family has requested that they do the surgery if they can. She is on quite a bit of pain medication. She's on oxygen also and was kind of drifting in and out and looks like she's lost weight. Please keep her in your prayers. She's been such an inspiration to everyone around her.

When Addie was in hospital last time (last winter, I think, for pneumonia), a woman Protestant chaplain came in to see her. When Addie found out who she was, she started to try and convert her. She's an amazing lady!!!!

Here is an update form a friend:

Addie's daughter called again this evening and said that the doctors were able to pin Addie's hip back together today and that she came through the surgery very well. The doctors said she's a "very tough old bird"---if they only knew the number of prayers strengthening her, both her own through the years and those of all of us who love her, they'd have a better idea of how indomitable she is. They said if she continues to do well she could be back at the nursing home in 3 or 4 days. Thanks be to God ---------and of course His Blessed Mother.
