Dearest Family,
Jim went to the doctors this morning and he seems to be healing well. He is to continue his home exercises and hopefully will be healed in 6 weeks. He must take it easy until he can bend his leg all the way. Of course, that will be difficult for him to do.
I did see Jim slightly run on his leg as we had a bit of a problem this weekend. Jenny was involved in a car/truck accident (Sunday 2/17/08) out at a dangerous intersection by our house. Jenny was going to pick up Jessie who as at a friends house about 1 ½ miles away. The road that Jenny was hit on an intersection that has a bend in the road and it is often difficult to see other on coming cars. She crossed the intersection and it appears that she pulled out in front of a black SUV/Truck who hit her on the right passenger side of the car. That part of the car caved in entirely. We were called and Jim and I were able to come to the scene while Jenny was still trapped in the car. Somehow her car was thrown about 70 feet into a field off of the road. The car does not appear to have rolled over but was substantially out in the field well away from the road. When Jim and I arrived on the scene, the ambulance/fire dept had just arrived. Jim was able to sprint to the car (first time since the operation and first time sprinting well in about 10 months) followed by me. Jenny was just coming out of unconsciousness. Although at first I thought that they would need to use the jaws of live to get her out of the car, they were able to pull her out of the broken window. The air bags did not deploy which helped us a great deal. Jenny of course was in shock and sustained a concussion. They finally were able to pull her out and I was able to ride in the ambulance with her to the hospital. Jenny was in the hospital for about 4 hours and then they released her to home bond care. She is on pain medications and is very sore. She has very few lacerations and based on what the car looked like and seeing her in the car, I am so amazed. God was with us for sure. We did have to scrap off glass fragments from her back and she has a few scratches on her hands. Her face looks really good. She did not sustain any internal injuries. If Jessie had been in the car, she would have died. We are very blessed.
I will be at home for the next few days to take care of Jenny. I am just thankful that we have her and Jessie.
Love,
Diane
