To all of you who have been visiting my blog and leaving such beautiful comments and saying prayers for my Dad ...the Good news is ..he had his surgery ..did very well ..the Dr. was able to save the artery and open it wide ..and we are pretty much out of the woods for a stroke...Praise God !!! He's home and looking Great ..if it wasn't for the big bandage on his neck ..you wouldn't know he went through surgery ..this is the best he has ever looked after a surgery and I know it's because so many of you were praying for him. God Heard and he answered and all Praise be to him !!!
As for my More prayers Please Title ..Yesterday we brought Dad home ..My Sis and her husband came over to see him ..and about 2 hours later we were called that my sis was in a very bad car accident ..and going to the ER. She was on a very crowded off ramp nearby ..that I hate to get on because people drive absolutely crazy at this off ramp and cut in and cause accidents all the time. I have said for years they need to put cones up on the long stretch so people cannot cut in ..How many lives will be changed until something is done. Unfortunately my sis was one of those caught in the middle. From what we can gather ..a lady must have tried cutting in behind her ..at full speed and was not able to stop and plowed into the back of her throwing her car into the one in front. The picture of her car are unbelievable ..it is totalled ..the trunk is in the back seat literally ..We are Thanking God the kids were not with her or they would have been dead. Her air bags did not deploy and she was thrown into the steering wheel. Her face is so swollen, black and blue and she has fractured the bone that holds your teeth and nose in place. As well she is battered and bruised and so sore. It is without a doubt an absolute miracle she is alive. I told her the angels were surrounding her and saved her. She will have to see a maxiofacial surgeon this week. To determine if surgery will be needed. And of course we are very concerned as each hour passes that nothing else will happen. So once again we call on all our dear friends for prayer. Healing prayer and to Guide us to a Dr. that is very capable and skilled and can help her.
Thank You again for all your sweet and lovely comments ..I look forward to posting some lighter side posts and sharing more pictures of our show and of course getting the Free Giveaway winner picked ..
Please remember Life is about choices...in all we do. When we are driving a car ..we tend not to see it as a deadly weapon and poor choices behind the wheel ..when we are tired ..in a hurry..talking on a cell phone ..etc...all these things though small in our minds can truly be the undoing of our own lives ..but more importantly that of others. Although this person did not intentionally hit my sis ..a poor choice led to an accident that could have otherwise been avoided. Remember consider others when you make choices ..your choices affect everyone.
Hugs and Blessings ...Sara
Oh my I am so sorry reading this. First your dad and just as it seemed all was going to be fine, now this terrible accident. I send my hugs and prayers and hope in the deepest of my heart all will be fine and your family can finally relax and enjoy life.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I am so sorry to hear about your sister! You have so much on your shoulders. Our prayers are continuing fo ryou and your family.
ReplyDeleteI have been busy and not blogging that much, but what a shock when I stopped by to visit you! So glad to hear that your father is much better, but now with your sister! How horrible!! I am always saying that people need to watch their driving, and that woman who hit her will have to live with that for a long time. Prayers are out to you and your family. I hope that there will be a lot of good and emotional healing.
ReplyDeleteDear Sara,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear surgery went well for your dad, praise God!!! I will continue to pray for his good health and healing. I am so very sorry to hear about your sis! Yes, it is a miracle she is alive!!! Praise God once again!!! I will be praying for her as well. I am so sorry that you and your family have been going through so much! The Lord is carrying you through it all and things will get better!
Love, Paula
P.S. I love what you wrote about choices. That is so true!!!
Sara, I am so sorry to hear about your sister. I will have both her and your father in my prayers. I am so glad that your father's surgery went well and that he is back home and doing good. God definately hears and answers all our prayers!
ReplyDeleteTake care..

Sorry to hear about your sister, but you and your family are so lucky her kids where not with her. May the angels watch over her and that you find a Dr. that can help. The goods news is your dad is doing well. Prayer going to you and your family at this time.
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know I am praying for your family. I am glad to hear things are really looking well for your Dad..whew...I feel so bad for your sister and I am saying prayers for her too. Yes, the choices we make everyday impact us and everyone around us. We really do not realize the far reaching effects we have on others lives especially taking chances on the road.
ReplyDeleteGod is there holding you in his loving arms all the time.

My heart and prayers are with you and your family. Christie
ReplyDeleteOh Sara, my heart aches for you and your family! I am so very happy that your Dad is doing well (and already out of hospital? Sheesh, they send people home at a crazy speed). My thoughts are with your sister, and you too of course. Hoping first that she needs no surgery, and second, that if she does, God guides you to the absolute right person. Blessings. (And you are so right about choices... people don't seem to value their fellow man the way they did generations ago. No one thinks about consequences. We must teach our children well.)
ReplyDeletei was so thankful to read that your dad has had surgery and is doing so much better... then so sorry to hear of your sisters accident! our lives can change in a blink of an eye, thinking of you and your family at this time.

ReplyDeleteOh Sara, I'll add your sister to my prayer list. Let us know what the surgeon says. I'm glad to hear that your father is doing well after his surgery. You are so right about how things can change in an instant.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I'm so thankful your Dad's okay and out of the woods Sara! Thank God. I'll be lifting your dear Sister up as well. I just can't get over this. A person just never knows do they? I know I get careless and in too big a hurry when driving as well. One day last week, I felt as though the whole day as I drove I was on an obstacle course; it was awful. ~ Tell your sister we're praying for her.... and your Dad to heal and get stronger each and every day.
ReplyDeleteLove ya!
