update from Shara

Hi there. I have hijacked Shara's blog on her behalf. If you read her facebook then you are up to date. There are some people/family that do not have facebook, so I am reposting for her from her timeline.

 Her mom took a bad fall down a flight of stairs Thursday and is in the hospital in Missouri. The Stacks family has had a very rough last couple months with various family issues. Please keep Shara,Curtis, Chris and her mom in your thoughts and prayers.

I will post more if she updates to facebook.

p.s. For gosh sakes would it be too much to ask that this black cloud be lifted from over the Stacks family? Amen

My mom took a tumble down a flight of steps. Waiting for X-rays. She can move everything, but she hurts a lot. What a week!

Mom's fall is worse than we thought. We took her home yesterday, but she cannot move her arms or legs. Cannot stand or move and is in terrible pain. We just called the ambulance to take her back to the hospital. Please send her all the thoughts you can. I have had a lot dealt to me this week, but my Mom is by far the very most important thing to me right now.

My Mom has two fractures in her back and has to be transferred by ambulance to Springfield, MO. I am on my way there in a minute. I cannot believe they sent her home yesterday only for ME to insist she go back today. She also needed blood badly. This is unbelievable to me. She will be okay someday, but not today. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. We need them and sorry to be a Debbie Downer all week.

Blood was needed for anemia due to low counts from taking aspirin and Tylenol.

 In springfield. They've finally figured out most of her issues. Fractured shoulder, spinal cord contusion and fracture in her back. Nothing to do for any of them but let them mend. Due to the spinal cord injury she will need a spinal cord specific rehab that we are praying will be closer to home. They finally have her to a place where hopefully she can not be moved and get some sleep. She had no liquids or food for over 48 hours. She can eat now but is flat on her back and in a neck brace. She is in rough shape but her sense of humor is still there. I've read her all the messages and she appreciates them all. I'll update about me in another post

  At the hospital they have a floor of suites you can rent for 20 bucks a night. They are hospital rooms but have real beds. They are small and hard but I could have slept on a bed of nails after being up 40 straight hours. We got three hours of sleep and a cup of coffee so I feel sort of human. Going to see her and find something to eat. I vaguely remember eating some fries about 18 hours ago. Everyone is treating us all wonderful. I am keeping Clark Clyburn and Curtis Stacks up to date if anyone needs to call them. It's hard for me to keep up with all the texts. Thanks
