Jesus H, this year just keeps getting worse and worse...
« on: February 01, 2007, 06:42:15 AM »
Mom called early this morning -- my Dad was helicoptered from the hospital in their town to a very good regional medical center. He was getting out of bed, went over, and apparently smashed his head into the door frame. He's got a fractured neck, but has movement in his hands and feet, which is really good news.

He's currently waiting for a surgical evaluation to see what they're going to do about the fractures, and I'm piling *expletive deleted*it into the car to head for Pennsylvania.

Wish me luck, and please keep my Dad and Mom in your thoughts.

Good luck man.

Movement in the extremities is indeed really good news.

Wow.

 Mike, I'm sorry.  About everything.

You do win the award for the worst run of luck...

Best of luck, we're all thinking of you here.

Mike my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Thanks, all.

Update on Dad... He's stable, he's in a regional medical center in Pennsylvania where they have a team of neuro-spinal specialists, and they're going to operate tomorrow.

It's going to be one long haul.

My heart goes out to you.  Take it slow, take care, and you'll be able to see this through while being a resource for family.
