The Wreck

I truly believe one of the most scary phone calls a mother can receive is "Your Children have been in a car accident" And on August 25th (exactly 1 month ago today I got that call) No information was disclosed. Nothing to easy our worried minds, all I got was your daughter is pretty bruised up and Hunner is bleeding. I panic, run out the door to inform my husband and out to the crime scene we go, not knowing what we would find, or what could be wrong....


    Cadence(my daughter) and Hunner got up that Sunday morning all excited for their day at the river with their Godmother Krystyna. I would have never imagined that It would be cut short and end in the Blount Memorial Emergency room.

   As Steven and I pulled closer to the scene on the wreck my heart pounded heavier and the tears came faster. My stomach was literally in knots and panic was radiated from the car. I remember thinking "its taking forever to get here"  Then we arrived. Thank god It was know where near has bad as I had pictured it in my head. We managed to pull up at the exact time the cops and ambulance arrived, and I can still hear Hunner screaming to the top of his little lungs, scared...hurt...worried...TRAUMATIZED...
  The ambulance driver looked over both of my babies and gave us the OK to drive them (7-10mins) to the local Er. Hunner screaming the entire way their, "PLEASE DON'T WRECK"

Taken as soon as we arrived at the hospital

   As soon as we pull into the ER, Hunner instantly refused to talk. Not a word did he say, I knew this was a tick and It would take some time, patience and trust. But knowing my baby was traumatized was so very heartbreaking.
   Thank the good lord my daughter only sustained a horrible seat belt burn and she was quickly released from the ER and safely went home with my Mother. Now to Focus all of our attention On Hunner as the doctor explains all of the possible things that could be going on...

   Do to the impact Hunner sustained to his head we now had a decision to make. One that would not only effect Hunner today, but could possibly effect him many years to come. CAT-Scan or no CAT-scan,. The doctor explained that the immense amount of radiation could effect his learning later in life but bleeding on the  brain could end in death. After we pondered for a while and did our research we made the decision to proceed with the CAT-scan, and thank God again it was normal. 

 Today marks the 1 month mark of the wreck and while Hunner looks completely normal happy and healthy on the outside their is still so much going through our lil buddies mind. He talks about the wreck every single day and panics every time we have to get into a car, he is a complete and nervous wreck. Constanly looking around, out each and every window. Questioning the speed you are driving, making sure you are not going fast, driving to close to someone, and when pulling out that their is no-one else in sight. I know this is something he may never completely get over and I have finally come to terms with that. Im not sure what else more we can do to assure him that he is ok.  

  God was watching over my babies that Sunday morning. Hearts have been mended, wounds have healed. But that day will forever be in our minds.
