Rob's Car Accident - On November 15, Rob was on his way to work when he was rear-ended and pushed into another lane of traffic where he was hit a second time. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he underwent emergency surgery to remove his spleen and then several hours later, a second surgery to repair a bleeding artery. He also suffered several pelvis fractures and bruising, swelling, and bleeding on the brain. He spent five days in ICU before he started to regain some of his memory. He then spent another week in a regular room and then a week on the therapy floor. Over the weeks, he regained his long term memory fairly quickly, and then gradually his short term memory. He was finally able to return home on December 5th and is doing very well considering all he has been through. His walking is much better, although he still has a great deal of soreness at times. He is still having difficulty with blurry and double vision, but the doctor expects this to clear up within a few weeks. He is doing therapy at the Healthpark and feels it is helping him. This has been a scary and emotional time for all of us, but we trust we will be stronger for it at some point. A few people have commented that they don't know whether or not they could endure this, but we know that God gives us grace for each moment as we need it. The Lord has been our counselor and guide. We are very thankful for his provision. We are also thankful for the family He has given us. We always had someone to call, sit with us, take the kids, or help with errands. Our children have been troopers also. It's hard to imagine going through this without their smiles and laughter to brighten our days.
