Back to blogging... not that anyone really reads this.

Firstly, I have recently noticed how great blogging is in documenting life.
And Secondly, I am sure glad to be used by God even if it is in a traumatic situation.  Soooo... here is the story.

Seth and I  had just gotten his haircut at the barber and we were heading to Bloomington to go to the library. Seth said he was thirsty so since he had been so good at the barber I decided to stop at the BP on 37 to get polar pops. I parked so he could watch the traffic even though I had never parked there before I though it would be a good idea to give Seth something to watch while I quickly got our drinks in the store.
Then while I was in the store the unthinkable happened.  I came out to see a mangled semi on the opposite side of the road and debris all over the large ditch about 20ft in front of Seth. I gave seth his pop and he signed "hurt". and then he signed "car"or "driving". By this time people were gathering in the ditch in the brush. I asked him if there was a car in the ditch and he said "yes" and "help". So since I went to see if I could help with my basic medical knowledge and ability to pray. What I saw was indescribable... the car had been rearranged by the semi as it was slowing down to enter the gas station then what looked like it flipped and slid backwards in the large ditch ending right side up.  As I was figuring out what was going on I realized that Seth had witnessed this accident happened just feet from were he was sitting. Then I made sure someone had called 911 and went and helped a nurse with the situation. the passenger was hurt but conscious and talking. The driver's condition was much different. He had significant skull and facial injuries, was unconscious and bleeding. It was difficult to even find a pulse and he had very spastic and inconsistent breathing even with me and the other lady trying to to keep him stimulated. After a very long time, about 15-20 minutes the ambulance and first responders came and I left the situation in their hands, the man still had a pulse but part of his head injury involved an open skull fracture that not even your imagination could accurately create. About 5 minutes after the ambulance showed up the man died. The woman was transported to the hospital and the only thing left to do was pray and accurately record what happened for the police.
I thank God that he put me in this situation so that I could be a help both spiritually and physically to the victims. I even thing the truck driver that hit them was at the car helping too which is a help to understand the accident was truly regretted and he was trying to help something that he caused.
This really helps me also because my Uncle Harley, who wasn't really an uncle but a father type person to me was killed in a similar crash but he was the semi driver and the car was a drunk driver. He dumped his truck in ditch and killed himself for a drunk driver in a van that he though was a mom and children... yeah so this situation was a blessing in many ways and I am glad that God put me in the position to used by Him and his grace and mercy has been given to me and He has used this situation to also be me healing of the residual pain left from Uncle Harley's death.
