Welcome Home Jessica!!





Tonight we went over to welcome our niece Jessica home from the hospital. Most of you know the story, but if not here is what happened...Jess is 6 months pregnant. Last Thursday night she was driving back to Topeka on I70 from Bonner Springs, it was raining and she hydroplaned and wrecked on a bridge. She got out of her vehicle and was told by a man who stopped to help to climb over the barrier in the middle to get out of the way of traffic. She did exactly that but didn't realise that there was no middle to the highway, it was a 50 foot drop off. She fell and landed in the creek bed below. It is a miracle that Jessica and her baby are alive and doing well! She has a broken pelvis and broken rib, and got a pretty bad concussion, and has a lot of recovery time ahead of her. She will be having surgery after she has the baby and about 3 months recovery time after that. Her baby girl is doing great, what an amazing story Jessica is going to get to tell that little girls someday!!The kids were so excited to see their cousin Jessica tonight because they were not able to see her when we all went to the hospital because she was in ICU. They have been praying for her every day. Thank you to all of you that have prayed for her , please continue to keep her in your prayers as she has a long haul ahead of her.

How thankful we are to see Jessica doing better. God had something special in mind for Jessica and baby girl I think. Love you all and we'll keep praying.

That is just amazing they are both ok. How scary to jump over the median and then fall.
