My Dad Just Fell Down a Flight of Stairs!

Please pray. My dad and mom went to Evansville today to my sister's and he was going upstairs to rest after the drive. He passed out at the top and fell all the way down. He's at the ER now. Thanks!!! I'm waiting on another phone call.

He just had his 80th birthday a few weeks ago. Jan said she doesn't think anything is broken, but I guess he's really cut and bruised up. They haven't seen a doctor yet though.

Will pray. Hope all is OK Sherri.

He will be quite sore at least.

Re: My Dad Just Fell Down a Flight of Stairs!

He's still in the ER. Jan said that it peeled all the skin off the back of one hand and tore big patches of skin off both arms (carpet burns). His skin is pretty thin and frail anyway. He has a huge lump over one eye, I guess where he landed, and his head and face were cut. He's in a neck brace.

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.
