Thinking today about how you say to be thankful for everything. Last night at 1:30 am, we got a phone call from our son that our daughter was in a terrible accident, and that she was ok, but he wanted to let us know. She is roughly 4 months pregnant with her first child.
So we called her right away. She had spotty cell service as she lives near mountains (the Cascades). She was driving their Land Rover to pick up her husband who was nearby but stranded riding his mountain bike. She took a curve too wide and hit gravel, and then she overcorrected and went tumbling down about 30 feet, through trees and a slope before it came to rest. She should’ve been severely injured, but her Guardian Angels were clearly with her. She said her seat belt and airbags saved her life. The passenger window was broken so she crawled out through that. She also managed to find her cell phone and her little purse bag, grabbed the keys and climbed back up the slope to the road.
It was 15 minutes before another car came along, as it is a somewhat remote area. It was just past sunset so she had light for about 45 minutes after it happened. The sheriff who arrived took her to the hospital himself, because an ambulance was too far away. The ultrasound showed the baby is fine, too. What a blessing!
So today we are so grateful that she was spared, and gives thanks to God for her protection. We had a FaceTime call with the two of them, and she recounted such a harrowing ordeal, but she has been through other crises which have prepared her to handle this. She is an avid hiker so accustomed to rough terrain.
Also, it was heartwarming to hear of the Good Samaritans who stopped to assist her. Thanks be to God!
WOW! I’ll bet you want to wrap her in bubble wrap and keep her confined until that Grandbaby is born! ;)
Glad she and baby survived that. Yeah, ‘somebody’ had her back, for sure!
Oh my gosh. The angels were surely surrounding her. Prayers up for continued healing. Hugs.
Miracles are real.
