UPDATE ON CHAD:
Chad woke up from his comaas few days shy of 3 weeks after the accident. He was trying to talk but couldn't because he had a trech in. Over the next couple of weeks he progressively got better and better. His accident was at about 11:45pm on June 22, 2012 and he got to go home, walking and talking basically back to his normal self (he still has some healing in his right shoulder and arm to do, and has some muscle in his legs and arms he needs to rebuild) on July 27th, 2012. He will still have therapy a few times a week for a little while, but he is doing fantastic. Praise God, this would not have happened without Him! We would not have him back with his same personality or doing so well physically, or maybe at all if it were not for our amazing Lord!! Praise Him and thanks everyone for your prayers!

Week 12

Sorry it has been a couple of weeks since I blogged. It has been a crazy couple of weeks. Friday night June 22 my brother-in-law, Chad, was in a very serious car accident. He was on his way home at about 10:45pm on a highway in Quitman and hit a 1200lbs mule going 70mph. The car behind him said he never hit his breaks, and the car coming at him in the other lane said they never saw the mule either. It took the Fire Dept., EMT's, etc. 20 minutes once they got there to cut him out of the car. Thank God there were other cars there to call and get them there so fast! They had to intubate him on the scene. They took him by ambulance to the local hospital and then care flighted him to Tyler. He is still in a coma. He responds to pain and he reaches for where the pain is. His is at a 7 on the coma scale from 1-15, 15 being the best (where a normal person is). He is not progressing as quickly as the doctors think he should, but he is progressing. His birthday is tomorrow. He will be 22.

Sleep: A lot better. One trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night is usually all I have to make.
Movement:  Maybe!
Symptoms: Slowly subsiding. :)
Food Cravings: I don't really "crave" things, but sometimes I eat something and it is A LOT better that I thought it would be. Like pickles, cheese and hot sauce are a few of my favorites right now.
Labor Signs: No.
Belly button in or out: Still in, I'm not anticipating it coming out.
What I am Looking Forward too: Having the energy to clean my house!
Daddy: Still nervous.
