Bkthomas made a post about an accident my son had very recently. I want to thank everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and private messages. Here is the story of what happened:
My 19 year old son left for work @ 3:30 in the afternoon the other day. Before leaving, he told me goodbye and that he loved me. About 20 minutes later, I received the phone call from the paramedics informing me of my son's accident. Though, the paramedic had witnessed the accident because he was already on the scene taking care of another in the same area, he did not go into detail of Daniel's accident.
I showed up at the scene and saw Daniel's SUV on the other side of the median, facing the wrong direction. I could tell by looking at it that the vehicle was completely totaled and was wondering just what happened. Although, Daniel was in shock and was not completely coherent to what his surrounding were, he told me he was changing lanes due to an accident and he hit black ice. His vehicle began spinning then started flipping across the median. I could see his SUV barely missed the on-coming traffic and was glad the vehicle stopped when it had. The vehicle had flipped 4 times, according to witnesses. Daniel said it seemed like it was all in slow motion at the time.
Because the paramedics were so busy with accidents in the same area, I was the one who took my son to the ER. According to the paramedics, police, and medical team, Daniel was lucky to be alive. His air bag did not deploy. Between the SUV's roll bar, seat belt and God, Daniel was saved and I am grateful. He suffered a concussion, cuts from the glass on areas of his body that wasn't covered by his coat and jeans. He had a lot of tiny pieces of broken glass in his forehead and ears. (all the windows were broken). He has bad dreams from the accident. Other than that, Daniel came out pretty good. Sometimes he looks like he's doing okay and other times, he is at that accident.
As for me, I did very well through the whole thing until it was all over. Then I did not do so well because thoughts of nearly losing our son kept running through my mind. Now, every time Daniel or DH goes to work, I am desperately worried. Although, our DD doesn't live with us, I find myself worrying about her. She has an hour to drive to work everyday. I hope I can get over the worry sooner rather than later because it's no fun. I've even been feeling depressed lately. Don't know why, but there it is. Want everything back to normal.
Thanks ya'll, you're a really great group of people.
