My 82 year old father in law decided to install new siding on his 2 story farm house. We all thought it was a bad idea but what do you do. He is very active for his age. My step son was helping him Tuesday afternoon when he fell off of a ladder 15 feet in the air head first. I got a call at work from my wife telling me about it and that I needed to get there quick. Luckily I was only 10 minutes away and the ambulance was there when I pulled up. He was transported to a local hospital and later transferred to a trauma center. He has a broken collar bone some broken ribs and a few broken vertabra. Sounds bad but the real problem is a heart issue they found. They believe this is why he fell. My stepson said he didn't slip. He has a long road of recovery ahead of him so please pray for him.
