    Many good wishes and thoughts headed his way.

    Small update on my dad....

    They are holding off on doing any surgery until at least tomorrow. They keep washing the wound area, or flushing it what ever it is that they do to these large areas of wounds, and they want to see how much of the foot they will be able to save. Most of the toes look pink, but the big toe looks a dusky blue color. Not good.

    He's getting more aches and pains now too. I think the whole accident is sinking in, and he's not so chipper any longer. He just had both knees replaced about 2 months ago, but they look fine the doctor said. He has bruising below them, but that's all!!! Nothing on his face except where he injured his nose, again, so lucky.

    He just keeps repeating how lucky his is, and he's right. It could have been so much worse. Hopefully they can save the toe and the foot, but if not, at least he has his arms and his legs, right??

    Thank you to all who are thinking of him and sending up prayers, they are still very much needed!

    I'm sorry to hear your dad was involved in such a bad accident. I hope that he will get to keep his foot and toes. I'll keep him in my thoughts.

    I continue to pray for your Father and I hope he keeps all of his foot. Hopefully they are making him more comfortable with pain medication.

    Bad news update.

    The surgeon wants to take off all the toes on the right foot. Something about thrombosis and the skin degrading. He's not doing anything until he gets an OK from my dad, so more surgery tomorrow.

    Thanks to all who are thinking and praying for my dad. He needs all he can get.
