On Monday,
Mom had gone to a funeral and then she was going to Bridget’s school to get her and to bring her home.
She got to the school picked up Bridget and one of our friends that is a monitor there.
They headed home and I think Bridget may have been telling mom about her homework and everything, she hadn’t buckled in yet.
It was raining and mom was going about 65, which is 5 under the normal speed of 70.
Mom said she looked in her mirror and seen an orange streak. She said she was thinking, well she’s not going to come around me so I need to get over, by that time it was too late.
The girl smashed into mom and them, doing anywhere from 90-100, knocked mom and them into one of the pylons then they hit the other one done a 180 degree spin and landed in the ditch.
Somewhere between all this happenings, Bridget’s door popped open and she said she could feel her body doing flips in the air.
She landed in the mud face down, hopped up and started running to the car.
She said she thought mom was dead.
With face pale, eyes in a stare, and blood all over her face Bridget just knew she was dead.
Bridge said she like to lost it right then but then she went to praying for God to restore her mind. He did!!!
She ran to mom and said, “Mom are you alright? Speak to me!!!” Finally mom said, “What happened? Where am I?”
Bridget said, “We just had a HORRIBLE wreck!”
The other girl Karen Huffman was so scared and everything I don’t think she could do much.
Then the girl that hit them, Bridget said her whole body was shaking with fear and she almost passed out.
A guy came up and let them use his cell phone as mom didn’t know where hers was, Bridget couldn?t find hers but later on we found out she didn’t even have it with her.
Anyway. Bridget tried calling my dad but he was still at that funeral him and mom had gone to.
Not recognizing the number, he just kept hitting silent.
So Bridget called my grandmother and then she let Karen call her husband (Frank).
There was a lady that showed up in a Halloween costume, she was dressed as a witch; Bridget said she called the ambulance.
We got them all to the hospital and they released Bridget and Karen after doing test on Bridget (I really don’t know what all they done on Karen because she went to a different hospital).
Mom had to go to Little Rock because none of the surgeons would see her here they said.
She is home now and doing pretty good.
She has a fracture in her tailbone and in her L5 vertebrae.
Then she has about 5 different fractures in her pelvis.
I don’t think they are going to have to do surgery.
Let’s just pray that God will heal her completely.
Keep us in your prayers!
