On Monday, April 16 our father fell 15 feet off of a ladder and suffered a traumatic brain injury, in addition to several fractures and other injuries. We started this blog to keep our family's many friends and family members updated on his status and progress.

Dad is continuing to show great responsiveness, which is the most we can wish for right now. He was asked to raise his hand and open his eye tonight, which he did. Last I heard, they had opted out of doing another CT scan today because of his level of response, but will probably do another one tomorrow to check on the brain injury. Dad is terribly banged up and the healing process will be long and tough, but we are cautiously optimistic. They are hoping to have him stabilized enough to surgically repair his wrist in the next day or so, but they will have to wait for a while for the swelling to go down to do his facial reconstruction surgeries. He has numerous facial and rib fractures. Tuesday at 8 pm
