i think you should leave my yard...

i said to the frog. those frogs are getting bigger! Just a few weeks ago, Aiden and I were catching them as little babies. Now, now they are massive! As big as my hand! I won't be touching them now.

So today, today was a very unbelievable day. My dad fell from a seizure and hit his head on the something. When I heard him groaning, I popped up out of bed, in a panic to see what was happening. He was laying on the floor shaking and bleeding. He had bonked his head on the descend down. Lying there seizuring, with blood dripping from his injury. Powerless. Vulnerable. Helpless. Frieghtened. Scary. Sad. Panic. Calm. Call 911. Insurance. Questions. Bleeding. Seizure. These words are running through my head. I grabbed a towel, wiped the blood from his arm and face, flipped him onto his back and prayed. Composing myself, I went and calmly called 911, hoping to disguise my worry with a calm patient voice, and reassuring pets on my dad's silver head of hair.

The medics came shortly after I placed the call to 911. The asked my dad, "How did you fall?" he slurred, "she pushed me" pointing his index finger at me. No grin or crack in his smile, that's all dad. Always a joker. He was slurring his speech a little, and more so later, but his humor was still there. Thank you Jesus. Hospital visit flew by. Five and a half hours felt like 15minutes. Then the Hospice by the Sea in Boca. Where he is now this minute.

Breathing: Labored
Mood: humorous
Status: groggy, really sleepy
Prediction: only time will tell.

I will keep you updated.

Thankful List

1. I was home and heard him fall. I could imagine so many other painful situations that could of happened, but didn;t. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THAT!

2. Good communication with all the people involved

3. Tomorrow I am going to recommend he be put on oxygen, to help ease his breathing.

4. He has been staying alove this long, for one reason, because he loves me.
Thanks Dad and Thanks GOD! I love you both. I don't know how I will survive without my earthly dad, but I know God has a plan.

5. The wind chimes, that remind me of the Holy Spirit's presence in my life, and around my house.

6. Facebook, and the social media it is, that I can have hundreds of people praying for me.
