my mom

My mom went to the Dr. yesterday, the 23rd to get her shoulder looked at and it appears to be healing nicely. Her ankle on the other hand is in trouble. When my mom was in her 20's she broke her ankle and it wasn't set right and she has had alot of problems with it over the years. It has gotten to the point where something has to be done but her Dr. hesitates to do surgery on it because of her knee replacement. If he did surgery and she got an infection it could go to her knee and her leg would have to be amputated above her knee. That is not an option and even the Dr. agreed that she probably could not handle that. He told her that her ankle is starting to fuse on its own and that if it would continue to do that he would not have to do surgery and she would no longer have pain and it would stop seeping. That is where you all come in. He told her to let all of her praying friends know about it so they could pray specifically for this and that at this point him and mom needed to go from believing that He could to believing that He would! He is going to check it in 3 months and he expects it to be fused! Now, I am going to tell you something that my mom would never tell you. He told her that he was watching a TV show (mom couldn't remember the name but I think it was American Idol) and there was a woman on there that was older and more plain than the usual contestants and that the judges and other people were making fun of her....until she opened her mouth and started to sing. The Dr. asked her if she had ever been laughed at for being a bigger person or for looking plain and of course, she told him yes. He told her that was because they didn't know and love her but that none of that probably mattered to the ones that did know and love her. He told her that she would look like an angel when she got to Heaven and that he believed she had the Spirit of God in her. My mom cried and so did I when she told me. She told the Dr. that if God decided to take her home instead of healing her that it would be ok with her because in her words, "I am 64, I am an old woman now and my work here is done." He didn't agree with her and told her that he believes that God will give her a physical healing. I doubt if she told him that she has also shocked some people when she opened her mouth to sing! As of this moment I am asking you to pray and I am claiming this promise: Matthew 18:19, "Again I say unto you, that if 2 of you shall agree on earth as touching anything they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in Heaven."
Is there at least 1 of you that will agree with me?
