T&Ps for my granny :( ETA: info link

in Trying to Get Pregnant

My Granny was just diagnosed with Charcot foot. Her case is very severe and could lead to amputation or death. They've put it in a cast and will re-evaluate it on Feb 10, but the doctor says he thinks hers may be too far gone to heal itself by immobilization. If the cast doesn't fix it, amputation will be the only option. I'm really scared for her and we are very close (she's like my best friend, corny as that sounds, and I talk to her nearly every day). Do any of you know anything about this disease?

I have put her on several prayer lists and  I know we both would really appreciate anyone who wants to add her to their prayers at night. Her name is Janice.

ETA: Here's an informative link if you're interested in what the disease is

    I don't know about the disease, but, from reading the link, my mom has diabetic neuropathy (not sure I spelled that right), and had to have her left leg amputated in Dec. 2010, and it was the best decision she could have made. 

    Your grandma will be in my thoughts and prayers, and hopefully can heal from this.
