Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Hi Friends...My folks - Dad 85, Mom 82, were in a car accident on Saturday. They were heading on he Hwy for my eldest daughter's birthday party when a 16 year old girl ran a stop sign on a side road and impacted my parent's car right on my Mom's (passener) door. Mom has a fractured sternum, and I brought her home from the hospital Sunday. She has had a couple spells of weakness and nausea today...she is on pain meds so her pain is somewhat managed. My Dad has a swollen knee and muscle pain in his right chest. Please keep them in your prayers, and the young girl who caused the wreck too. She has a minor neck injury. In 24 hours I walked and walked in the hospital, drove 200+ miles, did all the insurance and DMV paperwork, and helped in anyway I could. I am SO GRATEFUL that with my RA/PsA under pretty good control and down 101 pounds since April I could be there to help my folks like they have been there for me all my life. I would have done my best if this happened 7 months ago, but I know I would really have had a physically difficult time. Em moved out this morning...I just wish the situation she is getting into was better. But, " let go, let God " is what I'm doing. My eldest daughter has had a rough year as some of you know, and is doing well but is feeling discouraged as she really needs to find a job and it is so difficult. Please keep & Christena in your prayers, too. I'm getting a good responee for the Christmas/Holiday Card exchange! Please join in! Thank you all for your kindness & your prayers. I'm heading down to my folks in the morning. I know I am extremely blessed to still have them and I am treasuring every moment. All my love....
