What a horrid situation for you to be in with both your parents in the car ....

You say at one point "cars are ment to be safe" ...well they are and when the shock has subsided you will know in your heart that they are

The impact of the other car on your parents was take up by the engine being pushed towards the driver and passanger ....and then stopped and they are very lucky they had the engine there

Many of these silly space wagon things dont have that and therefore I cant see how the impact can not do more damage to the people

Take Care of you in this as your parents will both need lots of TLC when they do get home

Hi Shy... so sorry that I have not replied to this earlier but I did not see it.

You must have been in such a state when it happened.
I'm so glad that they are both doing well now.
Bless them both.

Mom is out of ICU and is in fact on the same floor as Dad, except on the oppisite side. SHe has 2 broken ribs, and broken thumb, torn ligements, interal injuries,, which seem to be healing by themselves. She has trouble breathing because the ribs.
Dad has a broken collorbone, spiral fatcure in his hand, broused lungs and other stuff. Dad might be out next week hopefully but Mom has a long way the go. The girl who hit them, as far as we know, is fine.

Hi Shy,

I am glad your parents are on the mend, albeit slowly, and hope you and your sister are ok, try not to make yourself ill rushing about with so much to deal with.

Have been thinking about you and your family.

It has been a week and we have already seen some improvement. Dad is walking around a little bit, Mom is breathing better most of the time now, although it seems to be worse at night.

Dads doctor is hoping that he can be released on Thursday (July 15) but he won't be going home, he will be coming here to my sisters house. Dad said he doesn't see why we can't go home cause he is sure that we can handle it, but that we will have to see.
Mom is slowwwwwwwwwly improving. Yesterday (July 13) she walked halfway to the window and back (about 20 steps) but she had two nurses on either side of her. For a women who walked 5 km with no problem, 20 steps is not very good but it is a start, I guess.

Shy every long journey starts with one step. I hope that your Mum soon increases the number of steps she can take and that she will soon be well again. Hope all goes well for your Dad coming out of hospital.

Just read this, and wish your parents well.
I'm sure your mum will make good progress, and your dad will do well when he gets out of the hospital.

Isn't it funny how being in your own surroundings always does you more good.

Shy - the healing will start slowly but the improvements will get better and better and they will soon be on the mend. I hope the young girl has now stopped and thought about speed and what can result from such unnecessary behaviour.

You say cars are meant to be safe but they are also a lethal weapon if not managed correctly.

I wish them all the best with their healing process and for your families as well. Can be a trying time.

Hi Shy,

glad things are moving on a bit and your Dad will soon be out of hospital, and hope your Mum will improve so she can get home soon too. It's early days for her to be walking far as yet, I am sure as she gains strength and heals things will be better, and shock can make people weak too

Hope your sis has a big house! Sounds as tho it will fill up more as time goes by

love

DAD IS HOME ! (well, at least at my sisters home) which is a step in the right direction.

Mum is still in the hospital, but they took her IV out, it is possible that they might put it back in, who knows but........ I missed her walking today by 5 minutes. I guess she walked about the circle, well almost anyway. I guess Dad is the one that told her that she has to eat to get better.

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeee
