Emergency prayer request

Hi everyone. I know a lot of people that read here pray, and for those that don't could I tap into your positive thoughts for a bit?

I just got the call that my dad took a really bad fall while working on their pool and is about to go into emergency spinal cord surgery. I was able to talk to him for just a moment a minute ago. He dislocated a shoulder and did some pretty bad damage to several vertebrae immediately above where he's already had his spine worked on.

He's over 6'4" so not a small man, and he falls hard! I am confident my CM is his from his side of the family and yet he refuses to be checked. He has had multiple failed surgeries (spine, nerve damage, etc) and also will not have my 11 year old sister screened despite being an obvious EDSer. Denial can be ugly and I'm concerned about the potential for complications with this surgery because of lack of accurate diagnoses and understanding.

Thanks. I'll update when I can.
