It's been awhile and please say some prayers for my dad


Hi all
It's been awhile since I've updated but we've had SO MUCH stuff going on. For the past two months my kids have been passing some sicknesses around and things have been pretty rough around here. Just when it seemed like they were getting better and things were straightening out my dad had an accident at work on Friday. He fell from a catwalk that was 10-12ft in the air. All he remembers is walking down toward the ladder and that is it. He has retrograde amnesia(can't remember things leading up to the fall and being found) he has a broken wrist in several places which also has torn ligaments, he has several breaks in his pelvis which will have to have 3-4 plates to peice it together, he has a minor head injury(bleeding in the brain which they believe will be absorbed by his body), concusion and a deep gash above his left eye. When he was found he was unconcious and they aren't sure how long he'd been laying there. We're blessed that he's still here and we're just asking for major prayers for him. It's pretty scary how things can change. They will be doing a couple of surgeries on his hip and wrist but can't do those until he is more stable. They are also waiting for one of the surgeons that can do his surgery because they only do them on Monday's and Thursday's because there is only 2 doctors who can do the kind of surgery he needs. Tonight he started running a low grade fever they will be watching this pretty closely so whoever if anyone reads this please say some prayers for him.
