At 6:00 Mom found out it was Dad goign by in the ambulence... At 8:00 I was woken up to find out my Dad was nearly dying... at 9:00 we arrived in town at the hospital...and at 10:00 we found out the following things He Broke his Scapula, and part of his shoulder near his neck. He has 6 broken ribs, a deflated lung, and his other lung is bruised. He has a hernia. He has a laceration to his liver and his spleen. He has a broken open wound ankle meaning the bone is sticking through. He has 4 fractures to his Fibula as far as we know there... The next 2 days will determine if he lives or not...I just got home from the hospital...

I have no idea what to say to that other than, if you need to talk about anything. And I mean anything. I'll be here for you.
I'm really, really shocked. It sounds so sureal. I'll be sure to keep him in my thoughts. You and your entire family are in my thoughts.
And it isn't your fault. How could you have known that something like this was going to happen??

I donno though everytime my Dad and I always get in a fight I wish Dad would get in a wreck or something and then it happens and it feels like its my fault Thanks guys though, <3

It could never have been your fault. You can't blame yourself for it, instead, be happy with your father. You can talk to me any time, as well heart It's always scarey, and I can't really help you, I don't think, except to be here when you need to talk heart I'll pray for him, I promise heart Just try thinking about how your life will change when he gets better.

I'll light a candle for him and send healing energies his way. I hope things work out for you both. And as the others have said, if you need to talk, my PM box is always open. But know this: It was NOT your fault. There was no way in the world you could have known what was going to happen, so there was no way you could have known to delay him. And trust me, I more than understand about saying or thinking things in the heat of anger that you don't mean, but they end up happening. And I know the guilty feelings that can bring... but they were just that, idle words said or thoughts made in the heat of the moment. You did not cause this, it is not your fault.

If I could I'd put my mom in his place. XD the best way to think of it is, he could be gone now but he isn't. Spend as much time with him as possible, you don't know how much time you do have.

Thankyou SOOOOOO SOOOOO much guys... I have some good news...We found out his shoulder isn't shattered like they thought, it's only cracked. How they mixedthat up I have nooooo freaking idea. Other good news, today is his surgery. If he makes it through this he's made it through the worst... Today I got to go see him, I have before but I got to stay and talk this time. Mom says that he started to tear up when I talked...It was really hard...I came in and kept my distance..I donno kind of a fear thing I guess..Well, as soon as I saw him awake I said "dad!" and I ran to the sideof the bed where he was looking at mom. I could barely handle itI couldn't talk..I don't cry in frontof people so yeah...and then I hadto go get my neice and I said I love you to him and that's when I really lost it..I got her, told her to go in, and then ran off to the bathroom to be alone. The whole town apparentlyknows about teh accident. Old friends of the family that we've not heard from in forever have even been contacting us about the whole thing...It just hurts so much to see my Dad like this... You know it was funny, he can nod his head and stuff he understands us he can see us a little bit, and we were talking to him, Mike comes up and says "your bike is fine, we're gonna get it fixed for you to ride again when you're well" he nods his head and mom comes up "they had to shave your beard..." he starts nodding his head no and oh man you could tell he was mad. XDD He loved his beard! But yeah...that's about it for now I suppose. Love ya'll, Will update later when I get back tomorrow

Well, the surgery went just fine. smile The only complications at the moment are his pain and his lungs. They're slowly going to try and get him off the ventilator though. The Doc says it'll be quite a while before he's able to come home...Butgood thing is he's alright. The Doc also says there's a possibility of him getting pneumonia.... Anywys, that's all I know for nows!

That's wonderful Cheri.
I'm so glad to hear that he made it through fine. It's the recovery period now. Be ready to handle a bear when he's feeling much better and is way to restless to sit and heal anymore.
