Mom and I visited with Aunt Iva Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. She is doing better and is "behaving" and doing her therapy. We also talked her into eating more. She is gaining back her strength slowly.
Please continue praying for her.

Aunt Iva update
Well, Aunt Iva hasn't gotten any better. We found out that she can't keep anything down and that the dizziness was caused by blood not getting to her brain. After an MRI... they discovered that she has Alzheimers. She also won't try to walk on her leg and says it hurts to much.... we are hoping that she hasn't given up.
My mom and I are going down to see her on Sunday and to make sure her affairs are in order. They say that if she makes it out of the hospital, then she will need nursing care, most likely in a nursing home. We are trying to keep her out of there, so, we will see what happens.
She is still mentally active and only seems to have short periods where she doesn't remember things, so she is still doing well as far as the Alzheimer's is going.
Just pray for Aunt Iva's health and for my mom, as she makes decisions on Aunt Iva's behalf.

P.O.G.
One of my friends here in OK, Cheri, told me that we needed to get out and that she was taking me somewhere, so to get child care and then, of course, was cruel, and wouldn't tell me where we were going, until we were on our way yesterday.(my kids stayed home with Troy) She had gotten tickets to the "Point Of Grace" concert in Tulsa. I love POG so, It was a wonderful surprise (even if I don't like surprises) and couldn't be more timely.... It helped me to have a "girls night out" and some much needed "me" time.
(Thank you Cheri!)

Aunt Iva Update
Aunt Iva isn't doing much better. She is still in the hospital, but is now in rehab. She says her leg still hurts really bad and that she gets dizzy when she stands up. Please keep her in your prayers.

Please pray
Please pray for my Aunt Iva who is in her 80s. She lives in Arkansas.
From what we were told, she was out taking a walk yesterday evening, and she was hit by a car. We have also been told that the driver didn't stop. Someone called 911 and she was taken to the hospital with a hurt hip, knee and head injury. She has a concusion and remembers nothing about the accident. She had surgery on her knee today and is in recovery right now. We were told that she would have to stay in the hospital until she can get around with a walker and then was told that she needs to go into a nursing home, something that will NOT sit well with her (can't say I blame her).... so please pray for her healing and that she accepts what the doctor tells her. There is family there in Arkansas who are with her now, and mom and I are planning on going over there in the next few days.
UPDATE:
(WE FOUND OUT LATER SOME MORE OF THE STORY, THE DRIVER DID STOP AND CALL 911)
She is doing better after her knee surgery but is frustrated that she can't get up and walk because of the pain.... my Aunt Iva, even at 85 is more active than most people and is always going out and helping out all the "old people"
