DAD TO THE HOSPITAL
Yesterday, I got one of those phone calls you never want to get. My uncle told me my father was hiking in Las Vegas with his friend and slipped and fell and hit head on a rock.
He was airlifted to a nearby hospital. We were pretty worried because he was extremely confused and disoriented afterwards. Plus, he suffered a neck fracture, a dislocated thumb, some major bumps on his head, and scratches and scrapes all over his body.
With the severity still unknown, we were preparing to drive out to Vegas to visit and also to make sure my mom had a car to get to/from the hospital and eventually have a car to drive home (since they came with their friends).
But today, things seem to be better. My dad is his usual self again. His thumb was relocated and casted. They're address all his bumps, bruises, and scratches. The MRI of his spinal cord was okay so there's no spinal cord damage. He's just waiting for the spine doctor to come assess him to see if he'll need surgery or a brace or nothing at all.
Please pray for him and for a speedy recovery so he can at least come back home.
Thanks.

Will do, buddy. I'll definitely be praying for your father. It's good news to hear that he is doing better. =)
Praying for you and your dad and praying that Christians(in addition to you, Karena, and your brothers and sisters) would come around your parents to show them Christ's love.
