Miracle on the Highway: Parents Survive Head-on Collision

Click For Summary
A serious car accident involving parents resulted in injuries but thankfully, they survived due to the effectiveness of airbags and seatbelts. The mother, who had recently undergone bilateral knee replacements, experienced soreness from the seatbelt and airbag, while the father sustained burns that cannot get wet. Their planned trip to Greece was initially canceled, but after support and prayers from friends, they managed to reschedule and successfully traveled. The family received emotional support in the form of cards, which uplifted their spirits during recovery. The parents are now back home, feeling better, and have purchased a new vehicle, although they are still adjusting to changes after the incident. The experience highlighted the importance of family support and the emotional bond strengthened through adversity.

Sorry for last night! Parents were in a HEAD on collision-ALL I CAN SAY IS AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS-saved there lives and the young girl who ran a red light-we were at the scene 30 minutes away in 5 minutes-what felt like an hour-to see the ambulance leaving mom on a board-Dad checked in later-Burns from air bag--Mom is released but is pretty sore-just had bi-lateral total knee replacements this year-last one 5 month ago--so on to see if they shifted--the seatbelt mark really held her and is so sore--Glad to see them alive-time of accident 905pm ---
parents have $3000 in tickets to Greece-for Wednesday--NOT happening-now its just time---Thanks for understanding-thank GOD I had Carolyns # Thanx Meg for calling Vanessa-made lots of calls last night--still booking August--!
 
Morfia! {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

I have been praying for you and your parents since I heard about this when I logged to my computer this morning. God is good! Thank goodness for seatbelts and airbags too.

I am so relieved to hear that they are okay. Those injuries will heal quickly - they can always reschedule their trip.
 
Morfia:

I'm so glad your parents are doing well, under the circumstances! We'll continue to keep them in our prayers.

Mary

on a lighter note- I think i have a catalog party from the hospital--:)I planted books around--I saw a Nurse pick it up so excited it was NEW--I said nothing--it was not the time-but neat to see it go--Mom was so proud
 
Morfia...{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} to all of you!! What a scarey thing for all of you. Glad to hear that all are on the mend.

My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
 
Gosh Morfia! I'm so sorry but thank god they're okay. I read it last night but didn't get on the call b/c I feel sick as a dog.

Will continue to pray for a speedy recovery.
 
Thanks for updating us! I was thinking and praying for you and your family all night!!!!!
 
And PS....congrats on booking that party!! Once my father had to be admitted to the ER...his bp was down to 60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bugeye: over not too much!! I had a PC purse and while he was being admitted the admitting nurse asked me about PC when she was taking his temp or something you don't need to pay attention to while it is processing. I gave her a book and she was going to call me but never did:(.

My Dad teased me and said he wanted to know what his cut was on my commission!!! His sense of humor rarely leaves him! This happened a few years ago and he is doing great at 76!
 
Morfia, Danielle sends her prayers too.
 
WHEW! I hate that they aren't going to Greece (my all time favorite destination that I want to go to before I die!) but so grateful they are ok.....

glad we could track down Vanessa and I hope it was OK to do that?!
 
Morfia I was just getting on to see if there was an update for you. I'm glad things are so much better than originally thought. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers!

Fianlly able to sign on to the internet after almost a week! So sorry to hear about the accident but very glad to hear your parents are okay. Will pray for complete healing and a safe trip to Greece when they finally do go!
 
I am sorry to hear about your parents! I am thrilled, like everyone else that they are okay! You are lucky to be close enough to visit with them. I'm sorry to hear about their trip. Hopefully their tickets can be tranferred.

Morfia, my thoughts and prayers were and are with you and your family. Beth kept me informed while I couldn't get on CS or DCS. I am thrilled they are well and will be recovering to make the trip another day.

no problem--
 
Morfia - do you need anything from us? I know you aren't the type to ask for help, but we are a huge family and that is one of the first things people said when they came on the call Sunday night.
