Update on Dad 2

Hi again! Dad has been doing SO MUCH better, and it's POSSIBLE that he can come home tomorrow. He is still in a little pain, but he can sit up now, and he even walked a little today, but he said it was really hard, as he's still a little shaky.

He does NOT have a punctured lung, it's only been bruised, but he still has a little trouble breathing. As you know, the three ribs above his heart have been broken, two of which are broken in two places. They won't be setting any of his ribs, because that would make things worse. His sternum is also fractured.

Thank you all so much for your prayers! I'm sure things wouldn't be going half as well as they are with out you guys! <3

{Gah, I know I'm forgetting something....}

UPDATE: Dad's coming home today!!!! The only problem they are seeing is a "bubble". I really don't know anything about this, and if it's in his lung or not...BUT, they said he's well enough to come home!!! =D =D =D He will still have to be on oxygen.

Please pray that Mom would get more rest, and continue to pray for quick healing for Dad. THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Update on Dad

'Ello, people's! Dad is in the ICU right now, but they will probably be taking him out today, unless he randomly takes a turn for the worse {let's hope that doesn't happen}. Mom got to see him last night, and right now she's driving to the hospital. Before she saw him, all we heard was that he was in major pain, and having a hard time breathing, but when she saw him, he said that on a scale of 1 to 10, his pain was about at three and a half. Uncle B. said Dad's being himself and joking around. =P

Because of his punctured lung, he's {obviously} having a hard time breathing, so pray that it wouldn't be so painful. But praise God that even though all the ribs around his heart were broken, his heart has remained undamaged!

The only worries right now is that his lung would collapse, or he would catch pneumonia. But, I have to go. Thank you all so much for your prayers!

EDIT: Dad is either out of ICU right now, or getting out very soon.

Emergency Prayer Request

Sooo...I really don't know how many hours ago this was, or if it was just a few seconds...everything seems so muddled.

I was in my sisters' room watching them play a game, when Mom came down and asked them to "pause their game". I was figuring it had something to do with our discussion about when we were going to town or not, but to my shock, it was about Dad. He left before the break of dawn yesterday morning to go snowmobiling in the mountains with his brother, and some of their friends. He drove into a ditch that was covered with snow, and the handlebar of his snowmobile rammed into his chest, causing a few broken ribs, and most likely a punctured lung. His oxygen level was low, but not low enough to be concerned about. He is in stable condition, but my uncle said it's serious enough that Mom has to get up there as soon as possible. We don't have four wheel drive, and the mountains are all snowy and icy, but our {wonderful} pastor in letting her use his Jeep. So, the last however long this has been, has consisted of running {PAUSE: Mom just walked in the door. Uncle B. called and said they might fly him out here to a better hospital. All the ribs over his heart are broken. Mom's trying to decide whether she should stay and wait to find out where he's going or staying...she decided to leave again - she can come back if she needs to} any way, the last however-long-this-has-been has consisted of running up and down stairs, finding things for Mom to pack, answering the phone that had been ringing off it's hook {thank God for Church Family!} and answering the door to find a neighbor who wanted to go with Mom, lots of prayer and Bible reading, and tons of tears. Seth only seems to understand that everybody else has been crying, and something is wrong with Dad.

Please pray that Dad would stay in stable condition - or better, and that if Mom does have to drive all the way up there, that she would be safe. Soo....I have to go now, but please pray!

All in God's hands.

UPDATE: They are flying Dad closer to us, where the hospitals are better. They said it wasn't necessary, but because of the nature of his injury, they did it as a precaution.

**ahem** THREE SECOND LATER UPDATE: Emily just got off the phone with my Aunt, and it sounds like Dad is waking up.

This post shall remain untitled forever more.

Hello, all! I have tried and tried to post the pictures that I'm considering for a background, but...I'm gonna have to try something new. I'll post two pictures each post, and ask which one you like best. I'll be editing them a bit, so they aren't quite as bright.
