Dave's Dad

**Warning** If you don't like the sight of blood don't look at the second picture.
How Dave's dad got to the hospital.

Many of you may have heard about Dave's dad. He was involved in an ATV accident in Phoenix on Saturday and suffered a severe head injury. He was life-flighted to the hospital. Fortunately he did not have any C-spine injuries and only minor fractures of his nose(again), pinky on his left hand and a small fracture of his cervical vertebrae. He is in a drug induced coma but showing signs of improvement. At first they thought he was going to have to have a ventricular drain to help relieve the pressure on his brain but he did not need it. They might even extubate him today, but we will see. We will try to keep the blog updated as soon as possible. Please keep him in your prayers.
