Knocked down with another migraine this week-let's add vertigo and vomiting with this one! Fun. Marsel bought me this pad of watercolor paper that is a watercolor coloring book! It's a great way for me to play without too much strain! It's also good therapy because my hand shakes now and it is helping me to steady it! Also, I can play while sitting in my bed which has been my world again this week
I know how fragile my emotions are still because I was sobbing when awakened to texts for prayer because a man under the influence of drugs caused this accident. It is my daughter-in-law's vehicle; she and daughter were on their way home. He drove them right into those cement traffic barriers. My son and his son were following right behind them and saw the accident and thought they had witnessed a fatal crash! Ella was taken to the hospital and released, her mom, Cassandra was take to a trauma center and just came home tonight.
Ella is one poor bruised body but her Mom has fractured her sternum and T2 vertebrae but she is alive and there is no spinal cord injury!
I know this sounds like the worst case of bad luck for a family but I don't believe in luck--and yes, we think these are all bad things happening lately but I will just say, I believe God will have his own good reasons for all of these tears and I trust him, shakily some days but still I acknowledge him as God Almighty in all things.
Steel is strengthened when it is heated up and beaten-I have a whole new understanding of refining faith!
Oh my goodness! What a relief that your family is ok. Sorry about the migraine again. ENOUGH!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my good golly....one thing after the other and a migraine on top of it all. No wonder from the stress you've been under. Having something mindless to work on while keeping your hands busy is important right now. Good for Marsel for recognizing it and giving you a project.
ReplyDeleteI fractured my sternum in a car accident many years ago and it was a very big ouch. The key to recovering is to keep moving through the pain in order to avoid lung issues which is easier said than done. I'm sending some healing thoughts her way right now.
None of this seems right, but you are handling all with grace and faith. We are all on your side.
ReplyDeleteOh no. When you already suffer with migraines, added stress and grief will surely manifest as pain somewhere. Thank goodness their injuries were not worse. Calming activities are good for coping. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteYour poor family is certainly getting the short end of the stick lately! So glad it wasn't more serious (though that is serious enough!). Still sending all the good vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteOH, I am SO sorry you and your family are going through such trials. That accident would be frightening to see for anyone, even if we didn't know who was in the car. So very thankful your family is going to be okay, but I can imagine how traumatic that has been for everyone involved. I love that you have the watercolor coloring book. That does seem like good therapy, and it looks like you are painting something beautiful. Sending (((hugs)))) and prayers to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy, I'm so very sorry about your migraine and the accident too. Your poor family. You ARE all being refined by the fire aren't you? Bless Marsel for knowing you need someting to keep your hands and mind busy but not too stressful. Your watercolor is beautiful my friend. I will be praying for you all, especially Ella and her Mom as they recover from their injuries and the emotional trauma too.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, hugs and love,
Betsy
God will never abandon you and your family. Prayers for a speedy recovery and prayers of praise for protecting them during the crash.
ReplyDeleteThrough it all I have been wondering what God is preparing you for. Just know your attitude and faithfulness is being watched and just maybe impacting someone you might not know about. I am so glad you have such a strong faith, but will continue to supplicate for your ease in all things.
ReplyDeleteWow, you sure have had a scary and very stressful time. I'm so glad your family survived and is healing. No wonder with all that stress you had a migraine; I sure hope that's gone by now. Sending lots of love your way, hugs, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about the misfortune you've had recently. To a much lesser extent, I had some misfortune of my own. Spilled something dreadful on my carpet. We got a carpet cleaning recently and got it fixed. Even little things are frustrating, so I can't imagine how you're feeling. I'm praying for you. God bless.
ReplyDeleteOh Good night!! That is terrifying and to have the other half of the family witness it - oh!! Prayers for you all and gentle long distance hugs
ReplyDeleteoh no... how horrible and just one thing after another. Thank God for protection for your dil and granddaughter. Pray they recover quickly xx
