Thank you everyone for your concern. I haven't heard yet today how he is doing or feeling. My mom is going to go down later on, and I'll be going down tomorrow after I get my hair cut. I need to look presentable, not like the gypsy that dI look like now with just a hairband on my head and my hair all wild from being up here at Sunny Rest. At least now, with being up here, when he comes home I'll be only 3miles away from home and will be able to visit more often. I know he's going to be out of commission for a while so he won't be driving anywhere.
For those of you who don't know, my dad has macular degeneration, and is legally blind. Not a good combination for him and a 4 wheeler/ATV. But you can't hold this man back, it just doesn't work. His hearing isn't what it used to be either, so I'm imagining that he didn't hear the car coming (most new cars are almost silent anyway when they're speeding down the road), and I doubt he saw anything much with the eyesight problem. So a speeding woman and an old man on a 4 wheeler did not make good company on that road.
I imagine they'll both get tickets. My dad for driving across the road to get to my brother's road with the 4 wheeler (that's a kick in the arse for ya), and the woman for her speeding. You should see the skid marks!!! YIKES!!!
One good update was that they found all 5 toes, and they are very hopeful that they won't have to amputate any. They're hopeful for his foot as well. WHEW!!! They said it was more of a cut and pulling of the skin, than a rubbing off of the skin, so they'll be able to do more of a pull up and tucking of the skin, rather than grafting. HOpe they need to do no grafting!
I'll post more as info becomes available. All he pitched a fit about last night was the neck brace they had him in and he wanted it off, and no one would remove it, lol. He's so impatient. NOT a patient patient, lol.
Thanks all again for the thoughts and prayers, they mean a lot.
