My husband fell off the roof he was working on today--26 feet--and has fractured both the right and left acetabulum and several other spots throughout his pelvis. He has a compound fracture to his right wrist, a broken elbow and a gash on his face. His heart was beating irregularly (dipping to the 30's and 40's and back up to 90 etc.) so they did an echo cardiogram and found a small area of fluid around his heart. They think that is from the trauma of the fall and will be watching him during the surgeries he will need very closely.
He was airlifted to Philadelphia and that's 60 miles from me, so the commute will be hard. I'm sure he'll be gone for a month or more, I have no idea at this time, though. I'm sure this won't be easy by any stretch.
Please pray, if you would.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry, Anne, I have just now dropped in to catch up on your site. Please accept my prayers, albeit belatedly.
ReplyDeletePlease take care of yourself.
My goodness, that sounds like a terrible fall. Events like this remind us how important it is to enjoy "today". I can truly understand how much pain your husband must have been in... and sometimes the emotional trauma is as difficult to recover from as the physical scars. I do hope he is well now.
