We are counting our blessings . . . .

This is one weekend we would like to start over, or just erase. . . It all started out with Kylee getting Jaundice and being put under the lights, which now is no big deal after what my mom has just gone through.

It all happened Saturday, after taking care of us and doing so much for us, this just had to happen. We all are wondering why. She was going to go shopping for us, and couldnt get her vehicle, which was parked on our stupid steep driveway, to reverse. The parking brake was stuck, so she ran into the house to see if Nick could help her. He ran out and had no idea the car had been put into reverse, and when he got the parking break to pop out, the car took off in reverse. He chased along side prying the wheel so it wouldnt hit the car parked in the road, not caring about his life or getting run over. For some reason he did not get hurt and got the car turned far enough to miss another vehicle by inches. We do not know how he was saved from a huge accident on his part, other than Angels were watching over him, no doubt.

As for my sweet Mother, things did not turn out on her side. Sometime during the car quickly speeding in reverse, she was knocked over about 20 feet into the road, hit her head so badly she was bleeding everywhere out the ear. We do not know exactly what happened and neither does she. I frantically heard screaming, ran out, called 911, as I tried to keep her calm and stop the bleeding. The ambulance finally came and we found ourselves in ER for a few hours, praying and hoping.



She had head trama, a fractured skull which meant she would be life flighted to LDS hospital and put in ICU. We all cried a lot last night, and prayed a lot for her.
Today she was moved into a trauma victim unit and is doing well. She actually was smiling for one second while we took her picture, only because they had just given her some major pain medicine. Yeah, finally after hours.



She is stable and getting monitored for a couple days, but is 98 percent stable that the bleeding in the brain has stopped, and the swelling. So, things have turned out ok and I am so thankful that I have not lost my dear mother.

Things like this, make you realize that life is all about family. Nothing else even matters. I feel so blessed that she will be ok, after some major recovery, and that Nick is ok and nobody else was around or in the way when it happened. It is one of those days, you wonder, can we just go back in time?? We are all being watched over.
What a week, life is so fragile and can end at any minute. Thank you mom for everything you did for us this week and we love you so much and wish we could be there taking care of you!!
