Update on Gram

Gram's hip replacement surgery went according to plan on Tuesday...the doctor's say that the surgery was a success. They described her bone as a "orange peel", the layers were just peeling away! Yuck! Since the surgery, she has been pretty "out of it". The morphine has controlled the pain, but it also has made her blood pressure drop drastically. They actually did a CAT scan to make sure that she hadn't had a stroke because it was so low. The scan came back O.K., but the doctors decided to give her a blood transfusion and take her off the morphine. As of this afternoon, she was not feeling very well and still had some "fogginess". The plan was to have her up and walking some by now, but because of all this other stuff, that hasn't been possible. Right now we are just taking it day by day. I'm not sure what the plan will be for physical therapy or even when she will be coming home but I will post more as Gram makes progress. Please continue to pray...
