Bonners Ferry's favorite Mom, Valdie Burkholder,
92, was hospitalized again today after a fall in
her home Friday, just two days after undergoing
shoulder surgery May 4.
According to her family, Valdie's health has
deteriorated since she tripped on a throw rug in
her kitchen April 23, breaking her humerus
(upper arm bone) and tearing her rotator cuff.
On Friday night, she fell again. According to
her daughter, Teresa Becker, her legs just gave
out, and today, Valdie has been too weak to get
up on her own, even though she still laughed
when teased by her son-in-law, Marty Becker, and
her son Rockey.
"Know we love all of our all Bonners Ferry
family and friends, plus the rest of you from
the four corners of the globe who have sent
prayers and best-wishes, brought food, or
offered help," Teresa posted this evening to
Facebook "We love you. Thanks for your
blessings." |
