Good Morning and Welcome to Sunday the 12th day of October, 2014.
It has been almost one week since my last blog.
Tragedy struck our family this past Monday morning when one of my nephews was involved in a single vehicle accident.
He was flown from a rural area in Alberta by STARS (helicopter) to one of the hospitals here in Edmonton.
Suffering a moderate to severe brain injury; he has been in a coma since the accident.
With all of the fractures throughout his body he miraculously remains in stable condition, and Doctors say they will heal over time.
We thank everyone who has taken the time to come and visit and offer their support to my nephew and our family.
At this point they are concerned about pneumonia and flu season.
So we hope that people will use common sense and not come to visit with a cold or flu.
I am grateful to the medical staff as they have been great.
He has someone with him 24/7 which is a relief.
I was there everyday but had to take yesterday and today to do some things around the house, and today to work at the store.
I did not realize how exhausting it would be.
But it will be a long time until he leaves a medical facility.
So we will just take one day at a time.
I am so grateful for this beautiful weather, the sun is shining and one does not even require a jacket.
I am so grateful to be alive so that I may offer my assistance whenever/wherever needed.
I am grateful to be in good health and to have a beautiful home surrounded by those I love.
It is times like these that we stop and think about our own lives.
How truly blessed we are …..
Little things do not matter.
Special Hello to: all the hearts that are enveloping my nephew with good energy and love, thank you.
Always, Carol and Alvin
