Calling all prayer warriors...

My father was in a car wreck Saturday evening and is in pretty bad shape. He's 87 and in fairly good health for his age, though he's had a couple of falls off ladders over the last few years. He's a stubborn, old country boy that you can't keep down. Not sure the details of the accident, but, he was T-boned. Fortunately it was the passenger side and he was driving, but, his bones are more brittle and he's down to about 125 lbs anyway. He has two fractured vertebrae in his neck, fractured scapula and pelvis and several broken ribs. He's on a ventilator right now due to weak and labored breathing.

If you believe in prayer I'm asking that you keep my dad, Bud, in your prayers.

Thanks.
