Accidents

This is a very strange post for 

me.  I use this blog to post

about our homeschooling.

In my state I need to keep 

records of what I do with 

homeschooling.  I create our 

own main lesson books to show 

the progression of education 

over the years.  I also keep this 

blog as a record.  Since this is 

HOMEschooling

posts will get blended with anecdotes of 

what we are up to or little stories of 

our HOME life.

Here is one of those stories...

A very near and dear family to us

had let their children come to 

our home and play.  

The kids love to be outside.

They play big.

From dress up to sword fights

hide n seek to climbing trees

and fort building.

One afternoon I had the 

eight kids outside playing.

The older boys were working 

on a new fort.  The oldest neighbor 

boy was climbing up a tree to 

toss a rope over a limb.

He fell on to a metal post.

The post impaled him.

It went up his thigh and into his 

abdomen.  It destroyed his main 

artery.  Matthew was standing 

with him and he immediately 

ran to the house to get me.

I have never experienced anything 

like this in my life.

I called 911 as fast as I could.

He had seconds left to survive.

The many doctors and surgeons 

were able to save his life.

He is expected to fully recover!

He is a miracle!

I really feel that he had so many 

prayers that it saved him.

People tell you about the power of 

prayer and how accidents can happen so 

fast.  Until all of this happens to 

you one really can not even believe it.

I am still a little rattled by the whole
experience.  We are recovering as well.
We take visits to see him.
He is doing so great that everyone
feels better with him. 

Please cherish every second.
Life can surprise you.

Until next time
