Survival



My Aunt Charlotte (my Dad's oldest sister) was in a pretty bad rollover car accident yesterday morning. She was driving back to California after a visit to MN for her Granddaughter's & nephew's (my first-cousin-once-removed & my cousin) graduation & to spend time wiht family. On the way home, near Sioux Falls, SD she fell asleep at the wheel, over-corrected & then rolled.

Very very lucky she survived.

She has numerous injuries, including- broken ankles, leg(s?), broken ribs, broken collar bone, dislocated shoulder, numerous lacerations, skin on one hand nearly gone....more, but I just don't know quite what.

It could be worse, there have been no signs of brain injury, but holy cow, this will take a while to recover from.

Please send your prayers her way. Thanks

So very sorry to know about the accident with so many injuries but seems there should be a full recovery even if it will take time. Will be praying for her and the family. I use to have to take caffine tablets when I drove on long commutes in the afternoon to keep from going to sleep. Dangerous especially when you are alone.
