Grateful


4 days ago we were reminded of how quickly life can take a turn and all that you hold dear can be put at risk. Our precious daugher-in-law, Stacy, was injured in a serious car accident. She was alone in the car. The rain was pouring down. She had exited the interstate to wait it out. When it let up, she got back on the interstate, was cut off by a big truck, hit a water pocket and hydroplaned into the center divider. At 7 1/2 months pregnant, all accidents are scary. At the county hospital they evaluated her and the baby. After a couple of CAT scans and some concern about possible internal bleeding from a seat-belt laceration, both of them were determined to be OK. Stacy has some pretty significant muscle spasms and will need physical therapy, but the baby is A-OK and Mommy will be 100% before long. Thank you God for seat belts, air bags and cars that are built to spread the impact around the passengers. Certainly Stacy's and baby Madison's guardian angels were double-teaming on this one.
