PRAYERS NEEDED: My dad had a major setback today. He was in the kitchen and fell hard on the floor on his same hip. His hip appears to be okay in the x-ray.
I saw it all in slow motion, I was right there but couldn't catch him. Fell hard on his head and blood pooled around his face. I called 911 immediately.
They believe he had a heart attack. He is alert and knows everything and can answer each question they have asked him. That is a good thing. He is heading over to a Tampa hospital where they need to monitor his brain because the CT Scan shows some mild bleeding inside.
My heart aches for him. He had to have 7 stitches. He is very upset with himself because he was doing so good with all of him physical therapy. He did nothing wrong and I am glad I was here to get him the ambulance.
Medical Alert was set up for tomorrow to be installed but in all honesty after he fell today I could see that there is no way he could have pushed a button. God has me here for a reason and I am thankful for that.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers, Debby!
You both are in my thoughts and prayers - this was a God Wink - that you were there. Instead of a button - can he wear a necklace or pin? I will go to bed with prayers and I am so sorry. Love, sandie
I am praying.
Oh your poor dad. I am so sorry to hear but glad it wasn't worse. Keeping him in prayer and you too. I am sure your adrenaline got a huge rush and you are exhausted now. Hope you are able to get some rest.
Oh, my goodness, I'm saying a prayer for you both! Thank God you were there!
I know I have just discovered your blog but I wanted you to know that I will be praying for you and your dad. Take care of yourself.
Sorry that happened. Good thing you were there.
Oh Debby, I am so sorry to hear this! Praying for him to make a quick recovery. Glad nothing got hurt with his hip! You definitely were meant to be there; God had you exactly where you needed to be. Sadly, it is probably a wake up call for your dad that he might not be able to independently live alone again :(
betty
Sending you a big klem. And your dad of course gets one as well! Good you were there to phone an ambulance.
So sorry to hear this. Prayers on the way.
Oh your poor sweet dad, and blaming himself is so MALE...glad you were there and I have often said about the medic alert, even if worn around the neck, the person might not be able to use it. prayers for all of you
Oh Debby! When I saw this on Facebook, my heart was broken for you and your dad! Praying for strength for both of you!!
I'm saying prayers for y'all. I'm glad you were there with him to get him help. Thanks for the update.

I'm so sorry Debby. Sending healing thoughts his way. (Or, as we Quakers say, I'm holding him tin the Light.)
So sorry Debby. I am glad you were there for your dad.
