So today DH and I were going to go to College Station for the 6pm game. To do that, we have to drop the dog off at my parents for them to watch and do the nightly feeding. We got there and my mom was holding the dog...she ended up falling.
We got her inside and she made mention that her left wrist hurts (it was the hand that she used to break her fall). I got ice out for her since we did decide she would need to get x-rays. The pain got to her and she blacked out for a couple of seconds (I am having the world's hardest time getting that image out of my head). My dad took her to the ER and she does have a broken wrist. She will meet with the orthopedic surgeon on Monday to determine when and what kind of surgery she will need.
Please pray that she will have a very quick recovery (as fast as a broken bone can heal). Please pray that the pain will lessen for her (I can't stand the thought of her in pain) and Please pray that I will stop blamming myself for this.
We tried to go on to the game, but I wouldn't been able to focus on the game and have fun. We asked if my parents wanted us to come get the dog, but my dad said no, that he would help lift both their spirits....

I am so sorry!!! I've broken my arms 3 times. I know the pain! Prayers for mom!
Thoughts and prayers! I hope she recovers fast!
You are NOT to blame.

how terrible!
this is in no way your fault. :-) But in any case... I hope and pray your mom has a speedy recovery! feel better!
I know its not my fault, but it's really hard not to blame myself. I am still having trouble getting the image of her falling and blacking out out of my mind. It also brings up memories of my sister when she had a heat stroke and how we were close to losing her....Praying for a better week.
I know that had to have been tough to deal with all weekend...here's hoping that this week is better for your Mom, and that your family can have a peaceful week :-)
