We got some bad news from the scans yesterday. Karen has two fractured vertebrae in her neck (C1 at the top and C7). C1 is just cracked but C7 has some displacement as well. Right now the ortho doctors are trying to determine if immobilization is sufficient or if surgery is needed. They checked out her movement and fortunately movement/nerves seem to be fine with the exception of some weakness in her arms when pushing out (using her triceps). The scans also indicated some changes in her Pancreatic cyst and they will be bringing in internal medicine to take a look at that to see if anything needs to be done there. They will be moving her from “Day Hospital” to a regular room so looks like we might be here for a while.
As you can imagine, we are a bit discouraged right now at these additional setbacks, but still know that God is in control and thankful for the healing that has already occurred!

This is only another small bump in the road to recovery... Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Gayle
I am so sorry for this setback. I admire you guys so much because I would like to think I would handle life's trials as well as you both seem to do so. Unfortunately I know I would not. You are in my prayers and thoughts and I pray that God will give you strength to endure and faith to know it will get better.
Thinking of you both,
Pam Brown
So sorry to hear this. We certainly know how frustrating one thing after another can be and hope that things will smooth out soon! Love, Karly and Cindy
please know that so many people are praying...we do not know why and wish we had answers but I do know how strong you are and that God has brought you through so much. He will continue to do that. Your family is an inspiration to all that know you. We love you and you have all of our prayers. Jeanne
We are just so sorry about Karen's fall and the vertebrae problems.
There is no justice in this world! You are both in our prayers--know this setback is discouraging for both of you. We are praying and praying. Is there anything we can do to help?? We love you.
