A car wreck :(

Well, Yesterday had more drama than I would prefer in a given day. I am so thankful that we are all o.k. I was out running errands and a black SUV ran a stop sign and hit my car. I had both boys with me. The moment between when I heard them screaming and when I could turn around and see them was an eternity. I was relieved beyond belief to see them both o.k.

People came out of the nearby businesses and held the boys while the emergency personelle arrived. There were a couple of ambulances a fire truck and a few police cars. Luke did enjoy getting to see all of that. He kept telling the rescue workers that they had big muscles and "Thank you for helping us." Needless to say we got treated great.

You can see the car below. I feel so lucky that the other car hit where it did. It scares me to think what would have happened if she had hit our car a little further back. I am so thankful that God was taking care of all of us. The adjuster expects the car to be totaled.













Titus-seems fine! He didn't have any red marks on him that I could see. I stripped him down to his diaper at the scene. The carseat seems like it did it's job. I'm glad he was rear facing also.


Luke-The little man has bruising on both shoulders from the seatbelt harness. He also has a bruise on his upper leg where the seatbelt comes inbetween his legs. He also has a cut under his chin.



Lucy-I have whiplash and some bruises. They did a lot to check me out with X-rays and a CAT scan of my neck. Everything looked good, so I expect to be sore for a few days, but fine.


Micah beat us to the hospital. He helped juggle the boys until Cara got there and Titus went home with Jennifer. Also, he ran to Target to buy new carseats. You have to get new carseats when you have an accident. This happened when Titus was 19 lbs. and 10.5 months. It was a little tricky for him, but we just did a convertible.






The brace was precautionary, but it made Cara cry when she saw me. Once the CAT scan came back o.k. they let me take off the brace.

Luke getting discharged.

Cara and Luke playing with the blood pressure cuff when the nurses weren't looking.


Cara and Luke smiling and having a good time. Cara wasn't in the accident, she was just playing around with the neck brace when I was done with it. Actually, you can see the cut under Luke's chin in this picture.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers, visits, and calls yesterday while we were in the hospital and today. A special thanks to Jennifer E. for getting Titus once he was discharged. Mom was able to come in, so I have help with the babies and the house. Give your loved ones an extra hug today. Everything can change in a moment. It's easy to forget that.
