CRASH!!!



This past week-end while I was at Women's conference Danny had all the kids up at island park. Trevor and his cousin were riding motorbikes, and Abby was behind them following on the fourwheeler. Apparantley she was going too fast to try and catch up with the boys and she lost control and crashed! At first she didn't tell Danny, and she texted me. I called a little while later after I got the text and pics she sent me. Yikes!! I was so worried! She couldn't remember what happened (not good) and she said "when I opened my eyes I was laying on the ground and my head was against the tree. She did remember her head hitting the tree really hard. Also later, when she couldn't find her shoes to go to the rodeo, she realized she flew out of them in the wreck! She had the accident around 11:00 am and Danny headed back home around 8:00 pm. On his way home he called and asked if he should, or if I wanted him to take her to the ER. I couldn't decide and had to conference with my mom and friend. We all decided that yes it would be a good idea. When he got back to Smithfield, he headed in the the ER. They checked her over really well and she had a cat scan. She has a concussion. With a helmet on! I am SOOOO grateful that she had the helmet on. I thanked Danny's cousin whose cabin they were staying in for making sure they wear helmets when they go out. I hate to think how it could have turned out if she hadn't worn the helmet. I had to say a prayer of thanks. She is dong well....she was real subdued the first while.

that's so scary. hopefully she'll drive more carefully from now on! I'm glad she was wearing the helmet too. I hope she is feeling better now. Did the dr. say she would recover fine, or do you have to watch for any more problems?

Oh my gosh that's awful! I'm so glad everything turned out okay. How scary. It makes you afraid to ever leave the kids again!

I hope you enjoyed education week. When things settle down I want to hear all about it!

I'm glad Abby is okay. And I'm so glad she was wearing a helmet. You forgot to mention all the scrapes and bruises Abby got. And just a side note: you were at BYU-I Education Week, not Women's Conference.
