Tuesday the 14th daprez and BonBon were heading back to Il. from Rhinelander Wi. They'd stopped at the QuikTrip in Plover Wi-X151-and went inside. BonBon had stated she felt weak and dizzy and she went down! Ambulance called and to the hospital in Stevens Point Wi. Drs determined she had a severly broken right femur. Surgery was yesterday with a clean out and a metal plate installed from above the knee almost to her hip. Just got off the phone with Ross and she appears to be doing better after surgery. Said a Man named Mark at the QuikTrip acted like a Human Being and helped Ross and BonBon a LOT! Hew was with BonBon at the hospital today near on 12 hours. NOT Sure when they'll be able to go back to Il. but things already setup for her rehab and anything she may be needing. And rehab could take some time. My S I L is 75 so not exactly a spring chicken!  She may hurt me fer that!  Ross a k a daprez said he Will update when he can. So Prayersup Please for BonBon daprez's Wife. As Always T I A. |

 OUCH, a broken femur and walking on it? I bet she was feeling bad. That is dangerous situation. I'm glad the doc's fixed her up good. Recovery and rehab is important time. Prayers for a patience recovery!

As you might imagine Ross's plate is overflowing at this time. He told me when he gets a chance he will update us here or thru me. The dizzy spell and the fall were Not explained to me Evan. Plan fer tonight was a quick meal and a drink and SLEEP! RIDE SAFE. |

The body is an amazing master piece. The things we do to our bodies intentionally and unintentional and it will over come a lot adversity. My guess is the broken femur had a lot to do with it. |

Praying for complete and speedy healing. That her body be restored to the perfection it was created in. That the doctors and those attending will have wisdom and empathy. That the Lord send the perfect ministers across their path. That the Lord meets all of their needs by His riches in glory by Christ Jesus and surrounds them with protection.

Bon has had some medical issues and the meds make her dizzy.
We made a pit stop. She said she felt dizzy. I held her and she slid thru her coat. She lost over70 pounds this past year. Knee folded under her and broke just above the prosthetic knee
Surgery and plates and screws. She will be medically transported to a facility in Illinois tomorrow.

My guess is the broken femur had a lot to do with it. I could be wrong, but I think she broke her femur during the fall (after the dizzy spell). |

My guess is the broken femur had a lot to do with it. I could be wrong, but I think she broke her femur during the fall (after the dizzy spell). I guess, I wasn't sure after reading over a few times. If that was the case probably dehydration.  |
