As you may have read earlier in the blog, Mom left Saturday, Feb. 6th for South Africa. She was going to be in Africa for 4 weeks going on Safari, seeing Victoria Falls and soaking up the sun. The Tuesday after she left, I received word from the tour company she was with, that she had been involved in a tour bus accident and was in intensive care at the Johannesburg hospital. The early details were sketchy, but we later learned that she had suffered severe back injuries. Two days later she had surgery for a ruptured disc and fractured vertebrate. As of today Feb.13, she is on the mend and resting comfortably. My brother and I knew she needed company and I was selected to go, however, my passport had expired and it would take too long to renew, so tomorrow, Feb. 14, Jim is flying to Johannesburg to be with her and bring her home. Hopefully, they will return in the next week or so. I'll keep you posted!!
Oh my! We are praying for Delores and for a good outcome to surgery. So glad Jim can go be with her and get her home.
