Released from the ICU

Thank you everyone for all your prayers. My dad was released from the ICU after 5 days and hopefully will be released from the hospital tomorrow. He had a shattered kidney,some internal bleeding and blood clots. He is doing so much better now. I flew in Monday night to go see how he was doing. It was scary seeing him like that. We are grateful because it could've been so much worse.
He finally had a smile after they took all the tubes out.
He was counting down the minutes till he could have ice chips and jello. He hadn't been able to have anything for 5 days.
I am so grateful he is ok. It's so hard living far away and not being able to be there all the time with my family. It is his birthday today! What a way to celebrate! Happy Birthday Dad! I love you!.

Iam so glad your dad is okay. Bracken's dad got in a bad wreck on his Harley a year ago and we thought we were going to lose him. I'm so sorry I will be thinking of your family.

I didn't know about his accident. That is really scary when one of your parents gets hurt like that. I am so glad that he is okay and we will keep all you guys in our prayers:)

I'm so glad he's o.k. He actually looks really cool with scratches and scabs. Tougher.jk Really though, I'm happy he's doing well.

I'm so sad I missed you! and I'm so sorry about your dad. My poor little doggie fell out of the back of our truck yesterday. he's pretty banged up but ok. I can't even imagine if it was my dad. LUV YOU!!!
