Update on my father

I just got back from the hospital. Here’s the scoop.

He was in a major auto accident. There are three main injuries.

The least appears to be a broken ankle. Next, there is flayed ribs (basically broken ribs) on one side, and a collapsed lung. He has been intubated, and will likely be that way for a while. He has COPD, which doesn’t help.

He also broke his spine at C2, but luckily didn’t hurt the cord. They are working to stabalize his neck.

Right now, he’s sedated, so I’m back at his house with my stepmother (who has some bruises and injured wrists. We’ll be back there later today. I will likely not be going back east next week (sorry, estherchaya; we’ll see you in Tucson).

For those who do Misheberach Lists, please include Avraham ben Solomon. For those who need the english name, it is Adrian Faigin. He’s at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo.

That’s it for now.
