I’m so very sorry. Sounds promising considering the height of the fall. How scary. You’ll be in my thoughts.

small addition he was not awake when his wife and ambulance got him in. It wasn't until he got to the hospital that he regained concienceness. Oh and he joked that he did not hit any branches on the way day. He went straight through.

6-1 AM UPdate - he's in excurciating pain. I guess he asked for heorin instead of morphine. they put the wrong size brace on him. It's gonna be touch and go for the next couple days. The lung is a little worriesome. Especially with the brace I'm sure. So no brace for at least three days. Till they can control the pain. They said they 8 nurses on him last night. Another MRI today. That could change. It's just gonna be a rough couple days. I haven't decided if we're headed up.

Sorry there is so much pain. Trauma units have much experience with multiple injuries, he is in good hands.

It's all good, he's been helping people trim trees, he tends to be a bit crazy sometimes. He told me he had just bought a new tool! There is a very good reason that health professionals say that people over 50 should not be climbing on ladders. I hope that you're able to talk your dad out of ever doing it again. One of DD's classmate's dad is a quadriplegic after falling from a ladder while cleaning the gutters. I hope your dad recovers quickly and isn't in too much pain.

{{{Hugs}}} That's quite a fall.
I had a neighbor when I was a kid who fell from a tree and died instantly.

Prayers/positive thoughts for a swift recovery. How old is he? He's just turned 70 in Jan. He's in fairly good health for the most part. He does santa for Cmas parties as a 2nd job. So he does put on some weight but he was already lost most of it and it may be what has helped. I just got a pic of him trying to stand with help. But his face is purple. So he looks bad. They got his brace on too.

H i sorry it's a little crazy. He stood today but with a lot of help,and a lof pain. The brace will help heal and protect. his face was purple . he's trying to redo the basice before the PT. The goal is the to walk to the terapis (moving his legs) more by the end of the week. Pending the mobility. I'll post the pic tomorrow. Thank you for all the advice and encouragement. I apologize, my grammar and such is not the greatest. I'ts always a struggle, but it's gotten better. And they got the right brace finally! I Thank you really! Tomorrow they'll have a full pic of what's working and not. etc.. Thanks again for the advice, love and just a let it out moment!! He's not happy he won't be able to do Santa anymore. It's so fun for them. I'll try to update tomorrow.
