our battle with a tree...




me and my oldest boy daniel were in a horrible car accident last night.... we both walked away from it.... but we are in very bad shape and my van is completely totaled..... we were run off the road by a car in our lane and when i hit the wet grass i swerved and had to correct - i could have steered out of it but i hit wet gravel next and my back right tire got stuck on the lip of the road and it threw us directly into a tree......
the dashboard, floor of the van and the tree all ended up in the passenger seat with my boy.... our shoes were thrown off of us completely.....the windshield and passenger windows were completely busted out and daniel was thrown halfway out the window, only his seat belt kept him in the van...... his legs were stuck under the dashboard and we had to pull him out.
daniel is really banged up...... we had to pick glass out of his face and tongue - 3/4 of his face are completely black and blue and swollen - his shoulder where his seat beat was is really hurt and his mouth is tore up pretty bad....... one hand is just torn up and punctured really bad......
im not bad at all compared to daniel - my knees are pretty bad and my hands are just horrible...... my right pointer finger is probally broken but i dont want to get into a vehicle and go anywhere just now....... so it's just going to have to stay like it is right now..... the whole right side of my body is bruised and cut up and im walking pretty slow.......


here's some pics of daniel today - he's looking so much better!!!

I am so sorry to hear of this horrible event. I am glad to hear that both of you are doing fairly well.

As terrifying as it must have been, to have you child with you must have been nightmarish. Take care.
