Something to think about...

Among older adults, falls are a serious public health problem. In the United States, one out of every three persons over the age of 65 falls each year, and two-thirds of those people who fall do so again within six months.

Among people age 65 and older, falls are the leading cause of injury deaths and serious injuries. About 9,600 older adults died in 1998 from fall related injuries. Among seniors with osteoporosis, falls can cause devastating injuries such as hip fractures (75%-80% of hip fractures are sustained by women). Half of all older adults who are hospitalized for a hip fracture cannot return home or live independently after their injuries.

Did you know that the NFSI is listed on several other sites as a major scam and that everyone involved are your friends and are also part of the scam.

Prayers for MJ's Family~ A tragedy hits an adoptive family

Hi all,

I know I just posted for the evening with pictures and levity of the day but then I saw on a friends blog a prayer request and followed link after link to read a story of loss and tragedy. A family has lost their beautiful daughter. MJ was 7 year old and "slipped and fell" and 2 days later passed away from the head injury! This is tragic beyond imagination. Apparently MJ was adopted from China 7 months ago by her dear family. I cannot even begin to fathom the pain this family is going through. If you are a praying person at all PLEASE please lift this mother, this father, this family in prayer. I am in shock and tears here. THIS is actually a HUGE fear of mine. A FALL. I am always worried Noah will fall and severly injure himself. HOW scary is it that a slip and fall could take a child from her family for good :( Life is so prescious. I will have an even harder time sleeping tonight. I always worry about Noah falling off the bed when he ends up in our bed after he wakes for a feeding. I am doing a dreadful job of this post but please please just pray for this family and hug your babies. I am huggin on Noah and keeping an extra careful eye on him. Below is a link to the obituary.
