Rede Acker, Father Acker’s mom, broke her leg the morning of 12 February 2010, just above where she had a knee replacement. She underwent surgery the morning of 14 February 2010, at Kaiser Hospital near her home in Colorado. While she would much rather have been in church, the surgery was a complete success. The break was lateral down to the artificial joint. They were concerned, but were able to repair the break with a plate and eight screws without disturbing the artificial joint. Please give thanks for the wonderful result and great work by the medical team treating her. Since the surgery, Rede is making slow progress. She wasn't coherent on Monday, which concerned her husband Jack, the nurses and all of us. But, by Tuesday, things were looking up and she was able to talk to Father Acker on the phone. She is eating and that is good. So far, she cannot stand because of balance problems. Rede will be ready to go to a rehabilitation facility shortly. The local facility is full. Please pray that there might be room for her when she is ready as the other facilities are a significant distance for Jack to drive. Please pray for her rapid and complete recovery.
