Carla spent the night in the ED. They did a nerve block around 22:00, but it was ineffective. I called and spoke with the nurse, who said she had given Carla some morphine injections. I looked at her x-rays and see that the femoral neck is cracked right in the middle and then it separated from the head and was pushed upward and outward. I cropped a screenshot and posted it below. It is UGLY and must be horribly painful. I zoomed in but could not tell if there are bone fragments in there or not. Waiting on call from ED or doctor as to when she will be transferred to the main hospital in Raleigh. Then I will go. Surgery may occur today.
God bless you all for your prayers. They are particularly extra badly needed right now. Surgery will be dicey, repair procedure risky especially since she is fragile.
I will keep you posted.
