Praise the Lord

Yesterday afternoon, my 14 yr old niece and her 15 yr old bf were riding his moped when a car pulled out in front of them. The bf didn't have time to stop and hit the car, sending him and my niece flying over the hood of the car. They were both wearing helmets, but it was still bad enough to require a ride to the ER via EMS. My niece was on a backboard with a c-collar, and it was thought she might have a concussion, even with having on the helmet. Also, the bf was having trouble moving one of his shoulders, and there was concern that something might have been broken.

In the end, nothing was broken in either teen. My niece has a badly bruised knee, but she is walking without crutches in a small splint. She will follow up with ortho in a couple of weeks. The bf had to miss football practice and lost his spot as starter in the first game, but he's alive and will still be able to play that night.

Also, I thank God for a bystander who kept the person who pulled out in front of the kids from leaving the scene, for giving the full account of the accident to the police, and for even going to the ER to check on the kids. We need more people in the world like that.

Also, I've decided that I will go to Israel. My sister is going to help me build up the strength to do all the walking that I will need to do. I've got 3 months to "train".
