My dad tried to kill himself yesterday by shooting himself in the chest with a nail gun.  One nail went into his lung, and one into his heart (he's already had Open Heart Surgery before, so it wasn't in the best of shape to begin with).  They removed both nails and have him heavily sedated and restrained in ICU, but they say he's day to day.  If nothing ruptures, he should survive.  But if something ruptures, the Dr. says he probably won't be able to get to it fast enuf.

Please pray for him!!!  As sad as it sounds, a lot of you are some of my closest friends (even if we're not close geographically).  Thanks for your support.  I'll keep you updated.

I don't think praying will do much, but I still hope your father recovers.

Oh wow, that really sucks. Sure I'll pray for him, but more importantly, you'll have to be there for him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your father. I hope he recovers in all ways.

p.s. I have developed some close friendships with people I only know on the internet. At other sites I frequent it's not at all uncommon to share events from our personal lives. It's all part of being a member of a common unity (community).
