I mentioned that my sister was in a really bad car accident last month...I talked to her today...here is the update.
She is out of the hospital, has been staying at a friends home, in a hospital bed, flat on her back. Her pelvis was shattered, so her movement was VERY limited. But, yesterday, she was cleared to sit for short periods of time in a wheel chair and can go places in a car now (it was in an ambulance prior to this) After she was cleared for this, she went and looked at her car for the first time. She said she is lucky to have her life. She was t-boned so hard, her seat was completely removed from the car. She doesn't remember any of the accident, only looking up and seeing the other car and yelling they were going to get hit, and then bits and pieces of the EMT's cutting her clothes off and thinking she was in her favorite jeans, draining her lung, and getting in the ambulance because it hurt so much, then, she doesn't really remember much for days. Her car was obviously totalled. When I talked to her after the accident, she kept saying how her seat belt failed, but it was probably a blessing it did, other wise she probably would have been killed. She totally knows the Lord was watching over her.
Now, she is going to be going thru serious re-hab for about 6 - 8 weeks, for 4 hours a day, but on the upside to that, her PT is a really good friend of hers, so it won't be as bad since she'll be in good company.
She sounds good and is getting better every day. YAY!

Sounds like recovery is slow but progress is being made and she is still here. Wow, I can't imagine how hard that must be.
My mother-in-law had a major accident like that a little over a year ago. She broke her neck and shattered her arm so bad that she had to have metal rods put in it. She has scars, but she is fully functional now.
