Austin's Long Day

This may be a little hard to see being sideways but I thought I would add it. It is the only picture I took at the hospital. Plus I don't really have any good ones he is a little camera shy.
I have had a really hard time getting him to take pain killlers because it made him sick at first. Kept telling him sleep would do him go. Poor kid. This is how he has been sleeping sence saturday, sitting up. But he really hasn't gotten much of it.
Well just in case you haven't heard. Austin was in a 4 wheeler accindent on Saturday with two of his friends. We got really lucky that Britney and Paul Reynolds drove by. They called Brent and told him he needed to go out to Rd R. right away. Brent being the good man that he is, threw the phone at me, told me my son was hurt and left me behind. Luckly Ted came up and watched my kids so that I could drive myself to be with my oldest in his time of need. (Brent said I was on a need to know basis. He was in a panic.)

We took Austin to the ER. He didn't brake any thing but has pretty good road rash up and down his right side, back, belly and left knee. He is also very sore. He really wishes he could turn the clock back. As for the other boys, Nat is fine and Zac has a broken wrist and has to go see another doctor tomorrow for his ankle.

I think the only good things that Austin would say came out of it is that he gets to miss school, PE for a week and no chores. As for mom? I am counting my many blessings. I am thankful for friends and family in time of need. I am thankful for helmets. Most of all I am thankful that Austin is doing well and that he walked away from something that could of totally turned out differently. Most of you know that Brent and I have been through our fair share of accidents. The Lord just needed to keep us on our toes. I am also grateful for my husband and the priesthood that he holds. We are truely blessed.

PS. By the way I am happy to say that I decide to start using the lap top to blog. So now I will start add pictures again. :)
