Re: My Dad Just Fell Down a Flight of Stairs!
Sherri,
I also am praying for your dad. That is scary! I know the older I get it is amazing how much harder falls, bumps, bruises, etc are for me.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Praying in Jesus name for your dad.

They are taking him to do a Cat scan now, and then I guess Xrays. I guess we will wait to go up in the morning, because it would be so late if we went now, we wouldn't get to see him anyway.
One good note.........even though he still doesn't know where he is or remember being at Jan's house, he is joking with the nurses and giving them a hard time. So that's pretty typical and a very good sign.
He is fortunate to be alive. When they got to him after the fall, his eyes were rolled back and he was unconscious and they couldn't get any response at all. I know he will be sore, but at least he's alive.

Will keep praying Sister.

Re: My Dad Just Fell Down a Flight of Stairs!
Thanks, everyone. I'm getting up at 6 AM to head up there (with Eddie). Scott is also coming over from St. Louis. They are putting Dad in ICU tonight, as there is some bleeding on his brain that showed up. They are hoping it will dissolve, but they have to watch it. There's also a huge hematoma above his eye that they are watching. If it grows, they will have to remove it surgically. They are hoping it will also just go away (absorb, I guess). Because of the bad stroke he had 9-1/2 years ago, they are watching his brain closely. He has a permanent shunt up there.
He's a lot more "aware" now, and can answer questions about his age, birthdate, etc. They asked him who the president was and he said, "I don't even want to discuss that!". Ha! That sounds more like him.
Fortunately, there doesn't appear to be any broken bones, which is amazing at 80 years old. That flight of stairs is about 14 feet high and really steep.

Re: My Dad Just Fell Down a Flight of Stairs!
Sherri,
Just saw this and pray that God will see fit to give our dear father a rapid, complete
recovery, in Jesus Name!
May HE also give peace to your family as these things are very unsettling indeed!
Hugs,
