So unexpected

Last night around 10 pm, we got a phone call no ever wants to recieve.

caller: We got this number from David Krout
me: That's my father
caller: Mam, this is Detective Sullivan from the Duvall County Sherriff's department, your father was injured in a house fire tonight
me: Oh my GOD
Det Sullivan: Yes ma'am, is there anyone here who can come to the house to secure it and go to the hospital
me: Yes, my brother lives in Palm Coast, I will find a way to get him awake and there, where is my Dad?
Det Sullivan: He's been flown to Shands Teaching Hospital in Gainesville, I don't have a number there. He is in critical condition.

Brandon and I had every phone in this house working to get my brother, sister, mother or anyone on the phone. We finally got everyone and I started using the internet to get the phone number to the hospital. I found him in the ER, they had him listed as 'unidentified male.' Now the police knew his name, but somehow between Jacksonville and Gainesville it was lost. I spoke to the Dr. who was treating him and said it was really bad.

My brother and sister arrived at the hospital after midnight. We all agreed no life support, we let him go this morning. Here's a link to the 11:00 pm news in Jacksonville.

Please remember us in your prayers. I am headed to FL tomorrow to help make the arrangements and get his estate in order as best I can in a week.
