updates...

I thought that I would post an update here to let everyone know what is going on. Last week my brother was in a very bad car accident. He was hit by another car, and him and his passenger were thrown from his truck and then the truck ran them both over. Thankfully they are both alive. Unfortunately the passenger in the other vehicle was killed. It has been a roller coaster this past week. My brother Chris finally had surgery on his left leg and arm. Broken bones will heal, but he has been in a lot of pain. Chris will be in the hospital for 1-2 more weeks most likely. His passenger and friend Matt was released from the hospital on tuesday right after he had surgery on his ankle.

We went to the hospital to visit him a few times and ended up picking up a stomache bug that has put the three of us out of commission for the past few days. Thankfully Jake is feeling better today, and Tristan hasn't thrown up yet today. Phewww.

    So sorry to hear your family is experiencing such a hard time. Really reminds you how good we really have it. I hope your brother heals quickly, both physically and other. I can only imagine what he is feeling. So lucky in a way. The "what if"s are plenty. I have learned from our experience with our son, the only thing you have control over is your reaction to the random events in your life. I hope you all come away a little stronger.
