Furthermore...thank you ALL for your prayers, good thoughts, and cyber hugs. I'm humbled and honored. Consider yourselves hugged. Wish I could whip up a batch of gharadelli chocolate cookies for everyone.

I'm on vicodin (my new best friend) so pain eludes me.

My daughter was in the front passenger seat and we were going about 5mph when hit from behind (witness said the car was going approx 50mph). The impact broke and twisted the drivers seat and crushed the lower rear of the van, crumpling to the back seat.

I'm convinced there are some bruised angels in heaven tonight for protecting my daughter as they did. I'm so blessed to know she's not hurt.

I was transported to the hospital on a backboard...got motion sick in the ambulance ...oh for joy...soft tissue and muscle problems only...no broken bones or further injury that we know of at this point. Going in to the chiropractor on Monday to get fully checked out. The chiro is a dear friend of mine so I know I'll get quality care. She'll be examining El as well.

Funny quote from my husband while at the ER: "You'll do anything to have a back rub, won't you?" Actually the back rub would be great but I'm just tickled pink to NOT have to vacume for a while! LOL

My husband was en route to the scene and they transported me during that time, leaving El in the care of 8 fire fighters and LEO's. She'll be 12 in May and was just fine staying with some of America's Heros. I'm so thankful she's okay.

El felt fine so off we went to her Track and Field Clinic this morning. My chaffeur (sp?...too lazy and medicated to look up the right spelling) picked us up..Wild horses couldn't keep me away from watching my daughter run. :o)

I'm pretty beaten up but blessed by God's mercy and the prayers of His Saints. Thank you all again and again. Please continue praying. I think it'll be a while before I feel back to normal (whatever that is) and then there's the insurance fiasco that could happen.

The driver of the other car just got out of his dialysis appointment. He shouldn't have been driving. Even his caretaker said he's usually confused and generally not 'with it'. Hmmm.

May God bless each and every one of you who posted on this thread. Hold your loved ones close this evening. Take care in driving. Know He loves you tenderly.

Thanks for the ping, 68-69.

Glad to know you and your daughter are O.K., homeschoolmama. May you have a speedy and complete recovery. FRegards.

Thanks for the update. I got "nudged" by a guy on the freeway 2 weeks ago - just had a stiff neck for 24 hours and his car took the damage, not mine. God really does watch over us. The funny thing about it was that when we exchanged phone numbers and insurance info, the only thing I 'happened' to have to write on was the brochure inviting people to our Easter program at church! Divine appointment?

Please continue praying.

Count on it

So good to read your update. Wow about your daughter being ok to run and you ok enough to go watch her! God's angels surely were there watching out for you both. Prayers for full healing continue - and for the insurance "mess" to be worked out smoothly. Welcome back and thank God you were in a VAN instead of a little Yugo or some other tiny car that all the liberalissimos want to force us to be driving!

Thank the Lord for his tender mercies.

Psalm 91:11
       For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
          To guard you in all your ways.

Prayers going up for your complete recovery.

Don't worry about dusting and vacuuming. Remember that dust protects furniture.;-)
