A little prayer please.

Jeff's Dad was cutting trees in the woods yesterday and part of a tree fell on his back and knocked him to the ground. Of course, he was alone, but somehow he managed to get himself out onto the road where Jeff saw him and picked him up. We called an ambulance and we went to Kentville. He has four broken ribs in his back, lots of scrapes and bruises and a black eye. They wanted to keep him over night because he is 72 and has COPD. Last night they transferred him to Middleton emerg because Kentville was so busy. This morning, he was having trouble breathing because a lung collapsed. They put in a chest tube and drained off a litre of blood from around his lung. He has since been transferred back to Kentville and will be admitted.
