Last night Dad had a motorcycle accident on his way home from work.
We're not sure why or how he lost control of his bike but he went down and is now in the neuro-intensive care unit of the hospital again.
Last time he hurt the left side of his body, this time it's the right.
7 broken ribs
punctured lung
broken collar bone
broken shoulderblade
head injury
lacerated liver & ruptured spleen (spleen removed & liver repaired during surgery last night)
serious road rash on arms and hands
Dad is on a vent again to assist in his breathing. He is alert and is wanting to communicate but this is difficult with his hands and arms bandaged. The head injury does not appear to be as bad this time and he's doing well from last night's surgery.
They are trying to determine if he had a dizzy spell due to the prior head injury or a mild heart attack that caused him to lose control of the bike.
More updates will come as I have the information. Thanks for your prayers!
I am currently taking up a collection to pay for a chauffer for my father for the remainder of his days. Just kidding - I'm stressed it's either laugh or cry at this point & I'd rather save the tears for another time.

I'm thinking having him driven around full time might not be such a bad idea.
Prayers your way.
Oh my goodness, are you sure your father isn't related to our family??? He's an accident waiting to happen, Just like us.
We are praying big time and hard.
