Steve decided to clean the leaves out of the gutters this afternoon in case it rained. While I was reading inside, he was on the roof. Around 2:30, Riley came running into my bedroom yelling, "Dad fell off the roof and he's not moving!!!"
I ran outside and by then two people who were driving by and had seen Steve fall were running up the driveway. Three different neighbors were headed our direction too. I saw Steve laying on his side on the cement driveway. I hovered over him and tried to talk to him. He was conscious but not moving much so we had him stay still and kept him talking. Meanwhile, one of the neighbors was on the phone with 911 because they were all sure we'd need an ambulance. Gradually, he started moving and eventually sat up.
Amazingly, other than being really sore and having a lot of bruises and scrapes, he doesn't seem to have any thing else wrong!
