The next chapter of the story

Ok, so Thursday night before we left IA to come home My best friend Rashelle's mother-in-law died. She had been having a rough fight with cancer it was a blessing the Joyce was not suffering anymore but still hard on the family. I was very glad that I was leaving Friday morning to come home to help and be there for Rashelle and her family. As I was driving home I was stuck in traffic in Omaha, NE and I get a text message from Diana one of my co-workers that was pregnant and due in Aug. she texted me " she is here Olivia Gene Hull" I was so surprised she was 3 weeks early and my parting works to Diana before I left was "don't have that baby until I get back". Well I guess that didn't work. We made it home Saturday evening and Joyce's viewing was the next day so we hurried and unpacked. Sunday came and went smoothly. Monday I went to work for a couple of hours and then headed to the funeral. The service was nice and then when back to the craziness of work. Got home and got a text from Rashelle saying that Kelby her middle son was in a 4-wheeler accident and his leg was hurt they were headed for the hospital. What horrible timing I thought with everything that they had been though this summer. Well a hurt leg was not the half of it. Apparently he fell off the back of the 4-wheeler and rolled head over toes down the road they lived on. He actually had a brain bleed, shattered ankle, a compound fracture in his leg, and all the tendons in his neck were sprained, the doctor said that if he had been an adult his neck would have been broken and he had road rash and bruising all over is body. Because of the bleeding on the brain they had to fly him on the life flight jet all the way to Salt Lake City to Primary Children's Hospital. That was the hardest night waiting to hear the next update worried about Kelby and wondering how Rashelle was handling it all, just waiting for the next text message to come in with an update. I felt so helpless just because I could not do anything to help. That night they did surgery on his leg and pinned his ankle back together and put screws in his leg bones. The next day they did another CAT Scan and the bleeding on the brain was not worse but no better but he was not waking up like the doctors wanted him to. At that point it was day to day. On Wednesday by lunch time he finally woken up, he was in a lot of pain but awake and talking and we were thrilled. Thursday was another good day got moved off the ICU floor and into a regular room. By Friday they decided that he could come home it would be a long road of recovery but he was well enough to make the 4 hour trip home. Because of all the stitches and swelling they were not able to cast his leg so they just wrapped and splinted it. So they had to be super careful with the leg. They would have to go back a week later to have the stitches removed and a hard cast put on and another nero evaluation because the bleeding was still there and had not started draining yet. So they made it home we were so happy to get them all home.
