It's a cliche. You hear it all the time, think it some of the time, but you don't really
get it until something happens to you and yours.
Life as you know it can change in an instant.
Hug your kids, your husband, your mom, your dad, your neighbor, your friend. You never, ever know what that next moment might bring.
If there is anyone left who doesn't know, my husband Tom was in a serious snowmobile accident last weekend. He was air-lifted to HCMC and is in a neuro-trauma unit with a brain hemorrhage and a laundry list of other injuries. He is lucky to be alive and we are thankful that he is able to move his fingers and toes, can breath on his own, and can speak with us.
I won't write it all out here since the story is over at caringbridge, but the bottom line is that we are taking things day by day and do not know the extend of his brain injury nor how long the recovery process will be for his back, arm and leg fractures.
So for now I am signing off to get some rest before another long day of doctor speak, surgeries, tests, and watching the love of my life in tremendous pain. I am thankful for every prayer, wish and positive thought sent his way for speedy recovery. Our family and friends have really stepped up and without their support I would be a crying mess laying in a heap on the floor. Instead I am filled with courage, strength and hope. He WILL get better.
Love, Nina
