My mom was in a car accident this morning.  She was driving back from the bank and a truck came into her lane.  She swerved to miss it and ran off the road and hit a tree head-on.  She was incoherent and repeating herself–a sign of a concussion.  She was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Atlanta because our local hospital didn’t have room for head trauma cases.

Turns out her left knee is broken so they did surgery this afternoon.  The knee cap was 40% shattered and so to keep it they had to tie some of her ligaments around the remaining knee cap.  She’s in a lot of pain and won’t be able to move it for three weeks.  She’ll probably be in the hospital until Wednesday.

Please say a prayer for her.  This is a very busy time of year for my family because of our Christmas tree farm and she’s very upset about how we’ll make do without her and over who will take care of MM over the next few weeks.  I’m just so glad she came out of this with “just” a broken knee and concussion…I honestly can’t think about what else could have happened to her.  I can’t imagine my world without my mom in it.
