Last Thursday my dad was taking down the Christmas lights on the upper eves of the house and some how lost his footing and fell off the roof:( He landed on his feet but with one foot on the big tree stump and one foot off. He had gotten his self on the porch but couldn't get in the house because the front door was locked. Russ had just happened to go up there to take the wood splitter back and he found him. He was in so much pain he really couldn't move much but Russ got the truck in the front yard and he got in and he took him to the clinic. They did x-rays and he had broke his pelvis in 3 places. They took him to St.George in the ambulance, they did more x-rays and ct scans and decided he needed surgery. The do not do pelvic surgeries there so they flew him to Salt Lake. On Friday morning Mike drove Colleen up and then Heather, April, Kadence, and I drove up a little later. They had decided that is is inoperable and it will have to heal on it own because it is a stable fracture and set in place. He will hopefully get to come home on Tuesday but only to a rehab center so we are keeping our fingers crossed for that one. He is celebrating his 66th Birthday today so we bought him some birthday treats and a balloon! While we hang out for two days Kadence enjoyed eating grandpas french fries and playing with Grandpa and aunt Heather! Hopefully he will heal fast and get back to his good ole self!!
