What a week! Sister injured and her husband had heart surgery

[RobinRTrueJoy]

What a week it has been!

Last weekend, my sister's husband had a heart attack, then had a cardiac catheterization and then Open Heart surgery. It was touch and go for a few days, but he rallied and is doing better now. A couple days after he had his surgery, my sister was riding her bicycle( she exercices to let off steam... wish I did!). She was almost finished her ride when a truck hit her. She was taken to a Trauma center. Her brain is fine. She was NOT wearing her helmet, she said it was too hot! But she has crushed sinuses, fractured zygomatic( cheek bones) and a fractured orbit( around the eye. She will need a lot of surgery to be put back together. I guess it could have been so much worse and we should be grateful. The trucker did stop, as did many others to help.

Surgery is scheduled for this friday. Please keep them both in your prayers?

Thanks!
