Hello everyone.
This is MaryEllen. We have Amanda home in Brutus right now. She is a very lucky girl. She fractured the 3rd lumber vertebrate. It does not effect her nerves and spinal column. She has to lie in a 20 degree angle or on her back for the next 3 weeks. She has a brace and she can get up for 10-20 minutes with it on. If things go well and she follows directions, her CT scan on December 6th should show progress. If that looks good then she can resume activities with her brace on. She will be wearing that for 12 weeks. Also. the instructors at NMU were great and she can finish the semester. The doctor (from Boston) told us that if the break heals she can even race next summer, BUT, if the vertrbrate compresses then she will require surgury and live with chronic back pain the rest of her life. So please pray for her that all goes well.
Thank you all for your concern and prayers.
Love you all.
