62+a roof= bad combo

My grandfather, who is 62 years old, decided it would be a brilliant idea to climb on a roof (that was 11 ft off the ground) to measure it at work Friday morning. He also thought it would be brilliant to remove his shoes so he would "have a better grip". Well this idea turned into a horrible idea as he slipped and fell down and off the roof. I got a call from my mom around 10:30am that he had fallen & all she knew was he broke his arm and was headed to the hospital. Pablo & I jumped up from our Sonic the Hedgehog video game and rushed to Kennestone, beating my mom & grandmother AND the ambulance there. Poppie, my grandfather, arrived not long after us and we got to go back to see him. He was in a lot of pain. They gave him some good meds to relieve the pain and took him back for x-rays and CT. The results came back and he had broken his humerus in 2 places and would have to have surgery. They got him in a room and set him up for surgery today, Saturday. He went in for surgery around 2:45pm today. He was doing well but surgery is still not over yet. Please keep him in your prayers that he will heal and recover quickly! And don't follow in his foot steps and climb on a roof..
