"Anna broken"

Last Saturday night, after a long day which included a swim meet and Zachary's baseball game in the World Series, Anna fell in her room. She said she hit the door and was complaining about her knee hurting. We didn't notice any deformity or anything abnormal, so we put her back to bed and the next morning, she was still complaining. I took her to the ER on Sunday morning (while Mickey had to preach) and she was diagnosed with a right hip fracture (the OTHER hip). She went to surgery within 3 hours to repair and now has another plate and 4 screws. She has done really well, but will not be able to put ANY weight on for a couple of weeks. So we are waiting on our wheelchair to get here so she can get around. The doctor estimates a recovery period of 4-6 weeks. Hopefully she will be well enough to go to school sometime in August.
When anyone asks Anna, what happened? She says, " Anna broken" and she puts her 2 hands together and acts like she is breaking something. And she says, "Anna can't walk"..... Thanks for your continued prayers, she actually had been showing some improvement in the strength of this leg, and now this....
