Compression fracture in Yvonne's vertebrae
Please keep Yvonne in your prayers. When we saw the surgeon on the 6th of July he showed us the x-rays and said Yvonne has a compression fracture of one of her vertebrae. He said there is nothing that can be done except wait for it to heal. And it looked like it was already doing that. But, she is having quite a bit of extra pain in her back the last few days. She couldn't even finish her physical therapy session on Thursday because her back hurt. So if you could, please pray for her. It has been especially difficult at night when she tries to sleep; and we're getting ready to head upstairs now. Bless you and thanks for the prayer support. She is really trying to keep a good spirit through all of this pain. God is faithful and has promised to restore her to health and heal her wounds. We believe that and holding on to the promise.

Oh John - I am sorry to hear that about Yvonne. My youngest son also had a compression fracture in his vertebrae. There is nothing they did for it either. He was a cross country/track and field runner in high school and college and they think it was from that. I hope she heals soon and the pain lessens quickly....she's been through so much already. hugs and prayers to you both.

John, I am sorry, I do not get email feeds for your blog posts and I guess I missed it yesterday.
Heavenly father, this is another night for Yvonne and sleep is so important to our healing process. I just lift her up before you Lord and ask for you to help her to enter into restful peaceful sleep in the midst of the pain and suffering. We hold on to your word and promise of health and healing and thank you for your faithfulness. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
