rough 24 hours

Got up yesterday at 5am and headed to the office as I always do on Mondays. Got to school about 5:15pm. At 5:20pm my mom calls, my dad was in a serious accident. He was at the hospital for about 8 hours, but was released and is at home. He's doing ok, in LOTS of pain. He was coming down they Hwy and a car pulled out in front of him, then the truck behind the car decided to go too. My dad never even had a chance to hit his brakes, the State Trooper said there no skid marks. The truck my dad hit flipped over my dad's truck and onto the hood of the truck behind my dad. No one else was injured. My dad was unconsious and came to hearing a lady saying "i've got a pulse". My mom was at her house with the boys, and Chris was at work in town, they both got the scene before the ambulance left with daddy, and we all arrived at the hospital at the same time. It was awful, seeing my dad in so much pain. Took quite the dose of the good stuff to take the edge off. They did xrays on his head/neck/spine and catscans on his head/neck/spine/abdomen. They also came back and xrayed his hand. He's very bruised and battered but luckily going to be fine in time.
Then I was up at 4:30 this morning to take Mikey to have his tubes put in. He did very well. Only cried a little waking up from the anesthesia. He's been playing and is now down for a nap.....maybe I should join him.
