my 91 year old father and 84 year old mother were in a car accident yesterday. Nothing serious they're both ok. It could have been a lot worse though; thank God it wasn't!!!

They're keeping my father in a trauma hospital overnight for observation and my mother just has a couple bruised ribs and a broken foot.

I'm so sorry to hear this. How awful. I'm so glad they're okay. It's a good idea to keep your dad overnight for observation. At such an advanced age, anything can happen suddenly. I'll pray for their continued recovery. You take it easy yourself too.

thank you Janice!:hug:

(just what their apartment needs; another walker!:lol: My 2 sisters, who live with them and have HSP; each use a walker; and they have a small apt!:) )

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully they will heal soon.

I'm glad your parents are okay. I hope they have a quick and full recovery from their injuries.

Wow, that's scary! Both of them in an accident. I'm glad it was relatively minor.

thank you everyone. Latest news is; they're doing fine. My father has 2 sprained vertebrae in his neck and has to war a special collar for a couple months but that's all.

So sorry to hear that. I'm glad they are doing better.

Very scary! I'm glad they are doing okay.

my 91 year old father and 84 year old mother were in a car accident yesterday.Oh my lord....Both of them.....

I AM SO SORRY......... I WILL SAY A PRAYER FOR THEM NOW!!

God bless you all http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/435/grouphugym7.gif

well, the latest is-my mother's doing fine, and my father's in such good shape that they're discharging him from the hospital in the next 1-2 days. That's according to him. My sister talked to them however and according to his nurse, they're not because they want to have him examined by a neurosurgeon and they'll probably be keeping him in for another month.

Sorry to hear about your parents and that they are doing okay.

Sorry to hear about the accidentB]Treky[/B]. But glad to hear your parents are improving.

Sorry to hear about your parents but I'm glad they're doing fine. :)

I hope your parents have quick and uneventful recoveries. Hang in there...

Im glad they are getting better :)

thank you everyone!!

You guys are the best!!:) :)

well, the latest is; my mothers condition hasn't changed. But for my father....I wish it was good news, but sadly it's not. He was feeling fine up until noon today (Thursday) then he took a turn for the worse. He's on a ventilator because he's having trouble breathing and they have him on the maximum amount of medication that they can give him The doctor says it doesn't look good for him. His lungs are failing and his kidneys have started to. He's always said if something like this should happen to him, he doesn't want to be kept alive by artificial means. We just got back from the hospital, and he was sedated but he was moving his feet and hand so I think he sensed we were all there. (the whole family).
We talked it over with the doctor, and we all decided that, if he makes it through the night, then.....I wish I wasn't about to say this...the best thing to do would be to disconnect the ventilator which is the only thing keeping him alive at this point.

I'm sorry to hear that. :(

I'm so sorry to hear that. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I'm so sorry that your family is going through this terrible time, treky.

Really sorry to hear that, Treky:(
