Our car crash story
On February 11th 2020 at around 2pm our lives were turned upside down in a second. My wife and I were headed home from the doctors office where I just had tested positive for flu-b. I had been running a high fever for a couple days and had gotten dehydrated. We were in 3/4 of a mile from our mailbox I know the exact distance because I jog that road about twice a week. We pulled up to the stop sign at our church and when we took off my wife lost consciousness from her blood sugar dropping at that point her foot went into the accelerator we veered off the road and smashed a large cedar tree in a neighbors yard. We both were wearing seatbelts that saved our lives but not without injuries. She suffered tibial plateau and fibula fractures on her right leg. Talus and fibula fractures on left leg. Broken ulna and humeral head fractures on left arm along with broken clavicle and right wrist. Four crushed ribs that were repaired with titanium playing. Punctured lung and lacerated spleen. She was on ventilator 5 days from hemorrhagic shock and coded 3 times. Her doctors said she’s only alive because of divine intervention and we give our God all the glory. Out of all this no spinal or brain damage. I had only 3 cracked ribs and a bruised lung and some really severe shock. February and March were spent in the hospital with her in unbelievable pain. Then on top of our crash the corona virus emerges. Because of the covid virus I was able to work from home and get her on her feet. She is now walking some but did suffer nerve damage in left arm and only has about 50% use in it right now. Working as an X-ray tech may no longer be a part of her life but we both are greatful and know God has other plans for us and our family. She is getting better everyday and even the pain is not as bad again we give our Lord and Savior Jesus all the glory
