The Recovery!

This is a series of pictures of what I thought would document the recovery Process... some pics are hard to see so caarreefffulll!!
This Pic is of my mom about a week after her accident at Methodist Hospital
This is a picture of my moms Left Leg after they cleaned it and saved what they could, and the skin grafting from her thighs to use on her left calf and foot.
Her left elbow was shattered and now has a metal plate there

This is of her shattered heal before surgery, it was like this for a little over a month. It took a while for the surgeons to decide what to do with it!
After the grafting and new muscle! Her new leg! What a miracle!
Healing....at home!
Healing.... at home for a couple of weeks!
Cuddling with her grandson! We were both so thankful that she was able to come home for a couple of weeks and spend time with her! It was such a blessing for her too to get out of that hospital! Even though we saw her daily it's just great to have her HOME! She recovered to quickly while she was home, the doctors were to amazed! Praise God! 
She had to go back to the Hospital for more surgeries! She had 12 surgeries total!
    
    
    
    
Before and after!(her heel)

Incredible healing!
Showing off how she can rest her foot on the ground!
My mom out in her 'fancy' wheelchair! 
Her blue brace protecting her leg and 'walkin' on with her walker
Her new reading chair from my incredible father! Merry Christmas mama! She says that in this picture her legs are becoming friends again! 
She has been doing physical therapy since octoberish, just recently she has been doing aqua therapy! Noah and I love going and cheering her on! He has made this time really encouraging!
My beautiful mom out!

Thank you all for your continued support, prayers and encouragement through this tough time. God has been so good to us and has used this in tremendous ways and would never trade this for anything. God has really searched our hearts and has continued his faithfulness in using this to transform us into the likeness of his son.

My mom has been such an encouragement to me and a great example in trusting in the Lord through everything! EVERYTHING! 
Thanks mom! I love you!

Prayer requests!
My mom would continue healing, her tendon would stretch to allow her to plant her foot on the ground to get her walking, that she would not develop hip problems cuz of her 'limp', to be able to go to Texas to see my brother and his family and the birth of their new daughter april 17th ish! Please pray for ways of serving one another and unity! And that the basis of our relationships would be Christ.
