What a terrible loss.
My thoughts are with Tammy and her family.
My thoughts are with Tammy and her family.
http://www.wsaz.com/news/headlines/33331754.htmlmy Daughter,adopted Daugher,and her boyfriend were in a car accident tonight.Willard (adopted Daugher's boyfriend) lost control of his Tracker.They slammed into a trailer.
My Daughter is ok.Banged up some, and has a concusion.Willard is also ok.
My adopted Daughter however is not She crushed her C5 and they say she will NEVER walk again. She is only 19 years old, is a GREAT kid---goes to College,does NO drugs/anything.And now, they say she will never walk again.
While I am not her bi-olodical Mother, I have raised her from about 8.And feel as close to her real Mom as I can be.
PLEASE I BEG and PLEAD with ALL of you, PLEASE say a prayer send up vibes, whatever.......................that she will walk again.When the time is right, that she will be healed and will show them wrong.They will start traction tomm. and will preform sugury.
I will be gone from here to stay in contact with her real parents and to go see her.But, will check in as soon as I can
http://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/...owing-accidentaccording to Police, Willard hit both axels on the mobile home.Had he not have done so, I would be burying 2 Daughters.They told us that it would have decapitated all 3 of them. So, I am thankful that he did hit them--and not continue through the mobile home.
What smacked Karri in the head, was a 4X4 that was holding the electric box/meter to the telephone pole.There was live power wires in the truck when I got to the sceen.
Shoot, we made it there before the Police or Ambulance even showed up.
They had to fly Karri to the Hospital by helicopter as her injuries were so sever.Amber was taken by ambulance--I was allowed to go with Amber--not Karri.(Her biolodgical Mother wasn't even allowed)We got to the ER about 15 minutes after Karri did,and checked on her before Amber would allow them to see her.
Karri came through her surgury as good as can be expected.They went in from the front to repair it first.And when they got in there, they found it was much worse than they thought it would be.They are not giving her a 3% chance that she will ever walk again.They will go in and repair the back of her neck in a few days.They told us, if it is as bad as the front---she has a 1% chance of ever walking again.
OUr thoughts---they don't know Karri like we do.They don't know what this child has had to overcome in her life time.They don't know how stubborn and strong willed she is.
I know it won't be soon, but I know in my heart that my oldest Daughter WILL walk again.It may take months or even years, but my baby WILL walk again!!!!
Thanks you all for soooooooooooooooooooooo much.I am sending out special hugs to you all.Will update as soon and as often as I can.I get up in the am, and head down to the hospital and stay all day long.Her hours are 6,9am 12,3,6,9pm. I was a bit upset about that........................as is her real Mom and Dad
Karri had a stroke at 2am on Wed morning.It made her slip into coma.At 1:40pm, they did a brain scan.At 3:15, we got the results back--that Karri was no longer with us.
I want to thank ALL of you for your kind words/support/prayers.Karri was a wonderful full of life girl.She will be sooooooooo missed by everyone.
Karri was not my legal adopted Daughter.(I made papers up for her parents to sign though) She is my husbands first cousins Daughter.We had her here with us every summer, and throughout school.She was here more than she was at home for the most part.She called us Mom and Dad, and her brothers.
So, when I say adopted Daughter---though not legal, she was ours.And her parents will even tell you that much.
I paid for Karri's funeral expense.That is something that Shawn and I wanted to do.I was with her parents as we made the arrangements--as was Amber there.Amber and I went and bought Karri's under garments and a pair of "Chucks".We also got her a froggy blanket to go into the casket with Karri.
Thank you all once again for everything.(There may come a time NOT very far away, that I will have to say goodbye to all of you.To help cut costs, I will have to give up the internet)
