an up date on our life so everything from here on out makes sence

My brother and my 6 year old daughter were in an ATV accident. My brother was seriously hurt, my daughter by the grace of God escaped with a broken wrist.
Here was my desperate plea for prayers
June 8 2009
Dear friend,

I believe I have sent you all the news of what has been going on with us. My brother Mark and my 6 year old daughter Princess were in an ATV accident.

Mark has 7 broken ribs, a punctured lung, a lacerated liver, a broken wrist and pelvic bone. HE was in the ICU from Monday until Sunday. He was released today after they finally ruled out hospital Pneumonia, His lung is not healing as quickly as they were hoping. He is at home now.


Princess broke two bones in her wrist and 2 stickers, 1 Barbie and a hot pink and bright orange cast she got all at children's hospital. she had a cat scan which showed that everything was normal and her kidneys are good too.

Her left eye has completely lost all sight. she is considered legally blind in the left eye. the disease she has is from a combination of the fracture in her arm and her head trauma.

While Mark was in the hospital we assumed he had thrown Princess from the machine since she had so few injuries compared to his. He recently corrected us. he said he had tried to put her off right as the ATV was going to the left but everything happened so fast he doesn't believe he got her off. He thinks he may have fallen on her, hitting her helmet with his rib cage. GOD DID ANSWER MY PRAYERS FOR PROTECTION. she is not maimed, she is not in chronic pain and she is not dead. HE DID PROTECTED HER and my brother from what could have been a deadly accident.

Princess's problem with her eye showed up 12-36 hours after the accident. there was not way to prevent it and they believe there is not way to cure it. they are however willing to try steroids which this far has worked to decrease the swelling, bring back a little of her eye sight. she still is missing over 85% of her sight. We have to decide how aggressively we want to treat this with no proven cure. we are going to see an nero specialist tomorrow.

to top it all, Bean's 8 week old kitten jumped and missed and fell about 3 feet. he is in a lot of pain and not using one of his legs. We believe he broke his leg. he is at a vet's now. We had just put our dog of 10 years down in November.

DH can't take anymore days off of work between they time he had off when my step dad died and then this.
Angel is still gone and manic making really horrible life choices.

this is taking it's toll on all of us.

yet God is good and His will will prevail.
