| | It wasn't suppose to happen, but it did. Because it did, we accept the reality and move forward.
After our return to Reunion last week arriving on Thursday the 3rd, on Monday, the 7th (our 19th wedding anniversary), a
close friend, Dominique and I went Four wheeling with ATV's . Jonathan and his friend Jack
were along as well.
Upon the return home on a nearby mountain, with a slippery trail and
steep descent, there was an accident where I was thrown forward from the four
wheeler. The machine then flipped over on me breaking my back, the 2nd
vertebrae, and severely bruising my rib cage. With no access to nearby roads, I chose a difficult option arriving home in the
bed of the friend's 4x4 truck.
Our family called the ambulance and I was taken to the local hospital
in St. Denis. They were very thorough and did an initial x-ray followed
by a complete scan from the waist to the neck.
After a two day stay in hospital, thankfully, I came home by ambulance on Wednesday with a neck brace. Fortunately we have a
bedroom on the main floor of the house and I am able to rest and recover there.
The doctor's orders are for 45 days of lying down - bed rest. I can stand for
meals, walk a short distance to the toilet, but cannot sit for more than 30 minutes a day.
Thanks to all who have encouraged through kind words and prayed. I am SO thankful to be alive with no paralyzing results.
Please continue to remember us in prayer.
