At 12:10p, life changed. Thad was in a horrific car accident. He was hit mostly head on by a guy in a big pick up truck that was trying to make/beat the light. The other guy was going way to fast – well above the speed limit – and Thad was almost, if not completely stopped.
I praise God there is no bleeding on the brain though I am terrified that they sent him home from the hospital. (Why are they sending him home? I am not even remotely medically trained!!!!) He doesn’t know what day it is, what month it is or even what year it is. He is not capable of walking on his own. He isn’t supposed to be left alone.
The doctor’s are calling it a significant concussion with mild amnesia (Seriously! How can they even use the word mild?) They want him to go to bed and sleep for a few days to rest his brain – no lights, no sound, no thinking. I have no idea what any of this means or what is coming. He is drugged and asleep now. They also said the coming days would probably be worse in terms of pain with the way the body responds to a high impact collision. Any and all prayers are welcome!
