RE: Not a good day... UPDATE
That's great news, Little Chief!!
I couldn't help but think of our best friends who have a half-sister a lot younger than them... they were in a car wreck a couple months ago, and the EMT's sent them on their way... a short time later -- before they'd even made it home -- the girl was complaining about being really, really sleepy and "just wanting to go to sleep"...
Thank God they just had a feeling something wasn't right and drove straight to the emergency room where they discovered her blood pressure was almost non-existant. Turns out the lap belt in the back seat had cut her intestines open internally with no outward signs -- she almost bled out internally before they got her home.
Through some serious prayers and God's intervention, she's fine now... but I have a deeper appreciation for things getting torn up inside now and not being visible to the naked eye.
Tell Beth we'll still keep praying for her.
