I've been on pins and needles all day. One of my older cousins was in a car crash today around noon. Her husband and two little boys were in the wreck with her. They were on thier way home when a woman in another car moved into thier lane and hit them head on (both vehichals were completely totaled). The EMTs had to use two jaws of life to cut my cousin out of the passanger side of her husband's truck and they had to do the same for the woman in the other car. My cousin was trapped in the truck for over 30 minutes and her right shin/leg was completely crushed. Her husband's arm went through the windshield (as well as his head!) and he broke the steering wheel in half with his chest (which cracked his sternum). Thier two sons were both injured too... the youngest is pretty banged up and the oldest has a broken pelvis (they're one and four years old). The woman that hit them was in critical condition... she later died at the hospital. SHE LIVED RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM US!! AND she's my best friend's aunt!! I've been worried sick all day... my cousin just came out of surgery for her leg an hour or two ago... I'm so scared for her babies! You never think things like this can effect your family... but it does...

Thanks hugs So far every one is in stable condition... I keep thinking about her babies, about that other woman's family... I'm completely shocked right now. I was out of it all night at work... plus it didn't help that everyone in town kept asking me questions I didn't have the answers to. It's been a VERY long day.

Awwww sis, how are you feeling now, and hows everyone doing?????
-
OMG Katie! I hope everything is alright. You and your family will be in my thoughts.

Any updates?

Here are some updates... the lady that hit them didn't die, but she is in really bad shape, they really don't know if she'll survive or not. My cousin's husband was released lastnight and her youngest son was released this afternoon. Her oldest son may be allowed to go home tomorrow, and she'll be in the hospital for a week and then have to have physical theropy for three weeks. Everyone is doing as well as they can be... I'm relieved to know they're alright, but I'm still upset about that other woman... I really hope she pulls through.
-
Whew, aslong as there are no casualties! there are non right?
-
cuddles I'm sorry you had to go through that. I hope she is okay too
-
I am soo soo glad to hear your family is doing okay. You and your family have been on my mind since I heard about the accident. I hope a speedy recovery for them all.
I hope the other woman pulls through, thoughts and prayers for her.
