Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers! I'm glad that I have an avenue to provide everyone with info about Dad. Thank you for this avenue.

He had surgery today to mend the fracture in his L2 vertebra. This went very well and the doctors are  positive about it. He is communicating very well considering his situation. I've let him know that everyone is thinking of him and his response was with tears. So i want you all to know how faith, true love, friendship, care, and "small town living" speak louder than words. Thank you, our family is blessed to have your thoughts and prayers.

He will be in ICU for awhile, not sure how long. He is breathing better but they are monitoring him. He is not on a respirator and was never on a respirator. The c-pap machine just helps him breath deeper.. he is doing the work. His left arm is broken and bothering him a lot. He has numerous broken ribs. He has a small fracture in his pelvis. His hands are cut pretty back and most of his injuries are on his left side. He has full range of motion and is fully aware of what happened. When the power went out, he went to bed. "Crackling" woke him up. He got up and opened the door to see what it was and the smoke poured in. He broke out the window and jumped as this was his only option.

We know that there is a world of people out there praying for him. Thank you! We also know that there is also and understandably a concern about the funeral home. Please know that it will be rebuilt and the phone number is being answered. Please limit calls to the funeral home line to business-related matters. We will be in touch soon with any additional contact info pertaining to personal contact. He is currently only allowed 2 family members at a time. A big thank you again for all of your faith, hope, and love from the entire family, most importantly my Dad.

1st of all, dad is stable & resting well this evening.. He is in alot of pain, and will be for awhile. Myself, Edna, my uncle Don (dad's brother) & his wife Linda are with him. Equally important, my mother and her side of the family are right there with us, keeping tabs.

I wanted to take this time to thank everyone who was involved in finding Dad, helping him, and everyone who pitched in to try and save as much as they could. Words cannot describe how much the Zimmerman family thanks you!

Tomorrow is a big day for Dad with back surgery at 10:00 am.  The doctors are very positive that this will be a successful operation. Please keep him in your prayers.
