My dad was involved in a very serious motorcycle accident a week ago. He has been an avid and skilled rider for over 50 years. He was on a ride with a friend of his up in Idaho. He hit some gravel and rolled his bike twice. He has 5 broken ribs, a shattered ankle, multiple contusions and bruises. He is currently in ICU on a ventilator. Unfortunately, he has developed double pneumonia. There has been some minor progress, and I mean very minor.
I am in Couer d'Alene, Idaho. I will go home on Monday, Sept. 5th. If he can get off the ventilator before I leave, I will be much happier.
I lost my mother 9 years ago and I am really not ready to lose my dad. Those of you who have lost a parent or parents,
know what I mean.
I would appreciate any prayers and good thoughts. I know I can count on my blogging buddies to help a girl out!
I will keep you posted on his progress.
Thank you so much,
o hun! lots of prayers and good thoughts to you and your daddy! hang in there and keep hopeful :)
