Jeff went fishing with some friends over the weekend. They left Friday night and they came home on Saturday night. Jeff called me around 8pm or so and said that they were headed back. He called again around midnight and said that they were in a wreck… an older man ran a red light and T-boned them at an intersection. He said everybody was okay… so I went back to sleep, he called again about 45 mins later and said they were all going to go to the hospital just to get checked out and he asked if I was going to come pick him up… well I said isn’t there anybody else who can bring you home? A. I would have had to wake Ella up and by this time it was around 1am… and B. he made it sound like it wasn’t that serious. I should have called my in-laws to see if one of them could have came and sat with Ella until we got home, but I didn’t really even think about it until later in the day on Sunday. Needless to say, I feel really bad about not going up to the hospital. I should have went. Thank god none of them were seriously injured but some of them are having problems. Luckily Jeff was wearing his seat belt. He was in the back seat and he never wears his seat belt in the back. He said he put it on because he was going to sleep. He woke up to two of the guys screaming and he said he keeps hearing them scream. Our friend Lenny, has a swollen spleen and he is supposed to be going back to the hospital today, Lenny’s brother’s head is hurting pretty bad, he has been vomiting ever since it happened and he has a hair line fracture in his back. The other guy broke two ribs. Jeff is bruised up pretty bad and both cars ending up being totaled. I just thank god that everybody is okay. The police officers said if they had been in a small car (they were in a ford expedition) they would have been killed. That’s the second ford that Lenny’s family has had a wreck in and both times they have came out okay… so it seems like that is a good vehicle. Please say a prayer for all of them to feel better very quickly and for the insurance process to go as smooth as possible. Thank you.
