We have known her since 2004, a pillar of strength. Each year we spend time at her apartment since she is a shut in. 7 weeks ago she could not get up. Her spine was really bothering her and she went to the hospital. Her diagnosis was an infection with a bacteria count of 400, which should be around ten normally. The pain was intense.
Now she is feeling better, the shaking has stopped and she is near 30 on her count. She can not stand or sit up yet. It is expected that she will need 6 months to recover.
She still had her smile on her face with tears in her eyes as she greeted us today. It fills our hearts to see her, and like wise. In her own way, she always helps us. This summer she has offered her car. Before she got sick, the plan was for me to drive her to English camp. Now she says, that even though she can't go, her car can and be of use.
Thank you for praying for Pavla's recovery,patience for herself, perseverance and strength as she rehabilitates her legs. 7+ weeks without being able to stand or sit will make it tough!
