cliff hanger....

I did not finish my background story in my post yesterday so I am going to finish it up today... Ok here are my siblings names just to help with telling the story. Andrea is my sister closest to me in age, my one and only brother Matthew, Jesi, and Krysi ...this is there birth order and I am the oldest of these yahoo's! I am gonna back up and tell you the story from the beginning. I was not in the wreck, I was not there first hand so this part of it is from the stories I have heard about what happened. My family was going to a friends surprise birthday party at a restaurant here in town after church on a Sunday morning. They stopped at a CVS that was right across the street from the restaurant to get a birthday card and told the kiddos in the back to stay in their seat belts only dad was running in real fast..Andrea was in college, Matthew was in jr. high, (Matthew was by the window in the second row and Andrea was in that same row by the door) and the girls (were in the very back row of the van) were in elementary school. Dad went in got the card and away they went, they stopped at the red light in the parking lot. The light turns green and remember they are only going across the street, as dad starts to pull out, a vehicle runs the red light without even stepping on the brakes. It t-bones my parents van and spins then around, as it hits my littlest sisters fly out the back side window, Andrea flips over the seat she is sitting in and lands in the back where the girls are suppose to be. She is the one that realizes they are not in the vehicle, she starts screaming the girls are gone. I know my mom and dad open doors and run before the van came to a complete stop. Andrea does not think she is hurt, and gets up to go help and see about the girls. Matthew however stays in the vehicle. One of my parents friends go and get him to come out, and have him stand with them on the side of the road. Krysi flew into the turning lane quite a distance away from the intersection, and was out cold when mom and dad got there. Jesi flew out and landed on the storm grate right by the tire of the vehicle, she was awake but very scared and hurt. This is when Warren and I came up on the accident. As the ambulances were pulling away with my sisters in them headed to the life flight pad, (my parents and andrea were in there with the little ones), I noticed my brother and ran to get him, we get him in the car and away we go to the helicopter pad. As we are driving my brother starts freaking out, trying to get out of the car, asking over and over how we got there what was going on, where was mom and dad and where are we going?? and so on and so on..over and over!! It took all I had to keep him in the car. When we pull up I see dad and run to get him to come check out Matthew (my dad was a firefighter/emt) when he got there to check on him he realized immediately he had a head injury. So he sees the girls get loaded into the helicopter and made sure that mom, me and Andrea had a ride to Vanderbilt to meet the girls. Dad and Warren take Matthew to the local ER to get checked out. He ended up having a pretty good concussion and if the girls were not at Vanderbilt after being life flighted they would have kept him to make sure he was ok, instead they let him go with a list of instructions for us and orders for what to do and where to take him at Vanderbilt if he started to show any signs. What we now know is that Matthew took the brunt of the impact and was probably knocked out when Andrea discovered the girls were not in the vehicle, but no one even noticed because after hearing the girls were not in there everyone got out as fast as they could to get to them. Matthew is lucky he did not get hurt any worse then he did. Andrea was started to feel pain in her back and her knee, and we were all really worried about the girls. They finally came and told us they would be transported to the ICU for the night and that Krysi still was not awake fully. I know this is a long story and even longer when it is not spaced but no one can figure out why it is doing it..so sorry again if you are still reading this. Jesi ended up with a broken collar bone but was overall ok. She only stayed one night in the ICU and was dismissed a couple days later. Krysi woke up the next day and bless her heart her face was soo swollen she looked bad, but she was ok, her hip was not broken like they thought, no bones broken minus a skull fracture and a small brain bleed, that stopped on its own. She was in the hospital for a week, and we are soo thankful and blessed that day could of been much more tragic. WE all bear some scars from that day, and mine happen to be that whenever I see emergency vehicles I have a slight panic attack thinking that someone I know and love is hurt. It takes my breathe away every time I hear one, or get out of the way of one, and seeing them at the school proved how much to me I need to get some help for it. When I wrote that we are blessed, I mean it, the first people on the scene were friends of ours that go to church with us, both of which saw the accident as they were getting out of the car to go into the restaurant what makes these two particularly people such a blessing?? They are both doctors, and got my sister Krysi breathing before the ambulances got there...there are so many details to this story I don't feel like I did it justice but I tried.
