Update on Marjean Fish
Marjean had a bad reaction to the pain meds that they were giving her, and she was not able to do the rehab work that was needed to be able to go home. So we had to put her in a rehab facility (Friday afternoon) till she is able to get herself to the point that she will be allowed to come home. She cannot bend her leg very much and is not able to walk real well, but they are hopeful that it will come around.
Thank you for praying and please do continue to pray for her.
