Since my last post, a lot has happened. We have moved in our house. Still unpacking some things. Haven't done the final closing yet, waiting on the bank. Our house is our dream home. I wouldn't want anything else. Now on to the news that gives my post its title. I have recently experienced a life changing event that has made me live one day at a time. On Jan 25 my mom was involved in a head on collision. She was flown to MCG in Augusta, Ga. She was on a vent for 5 days. Her injuries include: 2 compound fractures to left leg, fracture in right knee and ankle, collapsed right lung, fractured right clavical, fractured right and left arms, cut on spleen, fractured ribs, and fractured pelvis. I think that covers it. She has already had 3 surgeries. She is now out of the ICU and making slow progress. We are blessed she doesn't have a head injury. Every day has its own obstacle. Friday we found out she has a blood clot in her left leg and today she was given 2 more units of blood because her hemoglobin was 6 ( normal is 12 ). This event has opened my eyes to see how precious life really is and how we never know what's going to happen. We are not promised tomorrow and should live each day to its fullest. My sister, Cheyenne, is eleven and has moved in with me and Allen. This has been an adjustment because we don't have any children yet but now we have a preteen. Her school is 45min away and getting her back and forth is a challenge which again I do one day at a time. God is good and knows what we each can handle. We don't always know why things happen, but we must trust in God. My mom's recovery is going to be a long and rough road, but with prayer and determination she will make it through this. We now have to find a skilled nursing facility for her to go to until her bones heal, then she can begin the rehab process.
