So quite a lot as been going on lately and I haven't had time to update. A week ago on Saturday my dad was remodeling their house and had an accident. He was trying to yank a board off a wall and when it snapped in the wrong place, it sent him flying. He ended flying into a trailer behind him and split his head open and also somehow hit the other side of his head, on his ear. He doesn't know exactly how long he was there, but eventually Shayla came in to see what he was doing and found him on the ground moaning. They all helped him to bed since, being a Rowley, he refused to go to the hospital :) ...and their doctor who also lives in their ward came over. He ended up having stiches and having to stay in bed since it happened. Apparently the concusion was so bad that he has lost his sense of balance and at first would get incredily queasy everytime he moved his head. As a family we've had the pleasure of hanging out with Dad, watching movies, talking with him, and making sure he stays down! It has been really amazing and wonderful all the help and visitors we've received. The day it happened, he had actually completely torn the whole outside wall down in one of the bedrooms and SOOO many came to help finnish it, putting in a giant 6' x 6' window in. Uncle Lynn, my cousin Jake, Uncle Cliff, Kyle, and my parents home teacher all pitched in and we are all SOOO thankful! Dad is doing considerably better after chiropractic ajustments, a few priesthood blessings, and LOTS of rest. He is still supposed to stay down and when he doesn't do this had dizzy and weak spells, but really is improving. Thanks again for all the prayers and help!
