My dad has lost 4 of his fingers in an aircraft accident. Please help!!!!?

-My father works on the raft at the airport. Earlier this evening his work called my mother & said he had an accident - we thought the first but hes ok. He has lost four fingers in his left hand. He is still in Recovery after coming from the theatre. We cant see him yet but i was wondering what happens next?



What will happen to his hand? Will he be ok when he wakes up? Im so sad. He hasnt woke up yet so he dosent know anything yet. Is there any kind of prostetic can be used? (excuse spelling) or has he lost his fingers forever.



Any help/advice would be appreciated. I think im going to see him tomorrow if im allowed.

Thank you xxxIf his fingers weren't completely destroyed or lost the doctors have surgically reattached them, here in the US medical technology has come a very long way, granted he has a lot of recovery and therapy to go through, but he will be fine, Workman's compensation insurance will take care of the bills for now and if he really has lost his fingers he will be retrained in another field of work and will have to cope. sorry to hear of his misfortune, and wish him a speedy recovery.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. A lot depends on the damage done to his fingers. If they are intact and relatively undamaged and were kept clean and safe, they may possibly be able to be saved and reattached. A lot will depend on the extent of the damage done but I hope he is okay. Prosthetics are a possibility. If he is right-handed, it would not be as bad, (although I realise it is still a bad thing to happen), as if he was left-handed. Good luck to you and your Dad.
For now the best thing you can do is support him and be thankful it was not worse. As far as the rest of your worries they will come with time in his recovery and I would not worry about that now. He will need you there by his side more now just be there for him.

Sorry about your father.
He lost his fingers! My uncle have a similar problem..but was cut over the hand..and he lost the fingers..the fingers die and get black so the doctor must cut them off..If your dad lose the fingers,...then are gone forever!



Nothing will happen..now he must recover after the amnesties..and that s it.

If the fingers were properly preserved then they could have re-attached them. Also, if they can't, I've heard of people replacing fingers with toes, because you don't need all of your toes, or fingers.
visit the doctor immediately
First of all. Take a deep breath. you are doing a good job and your Dad will be proud of you. The lose of 4 fingers is a big deal. Were they able to save any of them ? I know a man who is in his 60s and all his life he only had a small thumb on his right hand,He was a family man,had a good job And owns his own house. your dad will be fine but there will be some changes in his life. if your Dad is a strong man( i think he is) He will see this as a speed bump in the road and not a life changing event.



Please do me a favor and when you get some free time please send me a short e-mail on how he is doing. I will make sure to pray for him and your family. Believe in the lord and everything will work out fine. Its not the small hills that make a man better. Its the big mountains and the best climb them 1 step at a time. All our best from New Jersey. He will still be a man and he will still be your Dad. It will be a long road for him but with you behind him he will climb it just fine
