You wouldn't think that just by getting out of your car to check your mail that you could be harmed. Well, as mom stepped out of her car as it slipped out of gear. Both feet were already out so as the car rolled away, she tried holding on and jumping back in to stop it. She ended up getting dragged about 15 ft down the gravel road before she dropped. Her van then rolled into the side of her neighbors home.
We can't be thankful enough that it did not roll over her! She did get quite bruised up and a bad case of road rash from her forehead and nose all the way down to her toes. Her ribs and back are in a lot of pain. After being taken to the hospital in the ambulance, they released her for whatever mental reason they were thinking! We brought her to our place to watch over her the next few days. It was a long night last night but she is finally sleeping somewhat peacefully.
So many people have been praying for her and our family. I can't thank you enough for it! I know without them, we would not be able to be as strong as we need to be during this time. I ask for continued prayers for her and dad. He starts his radiation today for his spine. We'll find out at the appointment how long he will have to go through it this time.
Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you!

What a scary situation. Your family is definitely in our thoughts and prayers. We miss you all so much. Thank goodness your mom is o.k. (for the most part.)
