Update on Scott

Just a quick update on Scott... he is doing much better. Still a little sore in the abdomen area, but every day it gets better. The paperwork from the MRI results were "Chest wall contusion and abdominal wall contusion", which basically means bruising in those 2 areas. He is to report to work tomorrow afternoon, but gets Sunday off as they switch to midnights on Sunday, so will go back midnight sun night/mon morning, so another day to rest and heal. We went and picked up his stuff and car at work yesterday, and went and looked at the work vehicle that he was in... pretty messed up! But they just about missed the drunk.. just hit on the passenger corner, right in front of the tire. The drunk was totally in their lane, and they were heading to his lane, just didn't quite make it. Sure messed up that corner and the tire was twisted sidways. If they hit more central, it would have been alot worse. They sure were lucky!

Scotts accident

Good morning everyone, Devon couldn't wait to share the news so without us knowing, he sent an email and I am not sure to who, but I thought I had better follow-up with more details as his email seemed to leave many questions... my phone won't stop ringing :) Scott was in a head-on last night about 1:30 am while in a work vehicle. He was the passenger in his work vehicle, and a drunk hit them head-on on passenger side. Scotts partner tried to miss him, but couldn't. His partner got a gash on his head, but is otherwise fine. Scott is pretty sore, his ribs/chest area must have hit the airbag/dash. They did a MRI and everything inside looks ok except for some swelling and bruising. This morning Scotts jaw hurts pretty bad too. They air-lifted him to the hospital. At the hospital, the kids couldn't come back where we were, but we had a friend with us, so Lori stayed in the waiting room with them while they watched the news footage of the accident scene on the TV there! They thought that was kinda neat. Scott has 4 days off work, then will prob go back doing office work til soreness is gone. We are a lucky family for sure! Scott is fine, but pretty sore, and will be for a while.
