Scarlett Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Thanks everyone, sorry I posted so little and then did not come back. It has been an insane 36 hours. Dh and I were 5 hours away on a camping trip when we got the call from a stranger who stopped to help. This couple stayed with them all the way to the first hospital and would not leave the parking lot until a family friend showed up. They first told me they would not leave until I got there. I said I am 5 hours away. They said, we have no where to be. Oh my goodness the kindness of strangers. They were traveling 65 miles an hour on a divided highway when a Ford F 150 pulled right in front of them attempting to cross and my parents T Boned him. The strangers who stayed with my parents were behind them and witnessed it all. It was 100% not my dads fault. My dad has a cracked sternum but overall a doing pretty good. A younger person would probably have not been admitted but he is 82 and they wanted him to be able to control the pain and also be with my mom. Mom is really beat up. Broken sternum, 4 broken ribs, broken collar bone, fractured L5...and worst of all a badly mangled right hand. She had surgery today for that and may lose her ring finger on that hand yet. I am completely exhausted . Had almost a week of vacation and now can’t go back to work for having to take care of them. We are oh so fortunate they are alive. My sister who lives 2500 miles away is coming for at least a month. Her husband and BIL are driving her straight through on Wednesday, so she should be here Thursday. I think she can stay a month....she works from home so that is good. 15 4 57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Gen Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 So thankful for the kindness of strangers. My husband was once hit so hard that the front wheel flew off of my suburban. He was in shock, and couldn’t figure out why he couldn’t steer. A woman, traveling alone at night stopped on the freeway and got him out of the car before he was hit again. She risked her own life for a stranger. I can’t even imagine. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
