This was one morning that I could do without and I am sure that Jamie and the boys could too. This is the morning that I got one of those phone calls that we all dread. Jamie called me after he and two of the boys (
Keagan and
Rylan) had left to go to the airport for a boys weekend. It had only been 20min. since they had left so when he called I was a little surprised to hear his voice and I thought that maybe they had forgotten something but no that was not the case. They had been involved in a major car accident and this was the end result of our car.
Jamie was on his way to the airport and could see the airport but sadly a man ran a stop sign and Jamie hit him going about 60 km/h. Thankfully, the boys were all buckled in the right way and the car did its job the way it was supposed to. When the EMS arrived they were surprised to see Jamie and the boys get out of the car walking with no major injuries. We are so thankful that they were not injured other than some stiffness and sourness.
Rylan had the bruising across his neck and shoulder,
Keagan hurt his leg but other than that all is well.
We have now come to appreciate the fact that the car has a five star safety rating and up until this point I had never really given it too much thought but now we will never get anything less. We also have a very s
trong belief in prayer because before they left that morning we had said family prayer and asked that they be kept safe and even though there was an accident they came home safe and that is huge for us.
This all the damage on the other car. Thankfully, he wasn't too far through the intersection so Jamie didn't hit the front of his car and not the drivers door. The driver tried to say that he thought that it was a
yield sign but either way he should not have been in the intersection. His insurance company has taken full
responsibility for it and so we are good. Our car is a write off so we are now in the market for a new car.
A week after the accident all is well. Unfortunately, Jamie is still not back at work. He is having trouble with the right side of his face. He is suffering from whiplash, he has torn muscles in his neck and right shoulder that are affecting the nerves in his face and making his vision blurry in his right eye so until it is better he can't go back to work. He is hopefully going back Dec. 25. He has to go to physio twice a week for the next 8 to 12 weeks and then all will be well. We are getting money from the other insurance company and there will be
a lot of paper work and
negotiations to go through but again thankfully they are
ok or at least will be
ok after a little while.
