I just don't know anymore
Both of Briley's femurs are fractured and we lost the best mother/mom-in-law/nana that anyone could ever ask for. Briley is being transported to Cooks. Alicia is with her. I am with Bryson at the Seymour hospital. He seems to be fine other than a pretty good bump to the head. They are keeping him overnight for observation.
I don't know what or how we can function without Gloria. What do we tell the kids? Unfortunately, Briley and Bryson know. Alicia witnesses the wreck and my heart hurts for her, Jess, Nathan, and Glenn. I am deeply sadden. I couldn't have asked for a better mom-in-law.
As a EMT-I, this call is the one that we all hope to never have to go on. I knew who was involved before we left in the ambulance. I don't know if I can continue. Time will tell, but that's among the least of my worries.

John, we are going to pray y'all through this and love y'all through this. "I'm sorry" seems so small, but I don't know what else to say. Thank you for your heartfelt words in this post. I will help in any way at all, as will countless others, but I realize figuring out anything that might possibly be any help is going to be difficult. Much love and prayers ~
ReplyDeleteI am soooooo sorry to hear this and I'm praying for y'all right now !! I just can't even imagine what y'all are feeling...I know my heart is breaking for y'all so can only imagine the hurt you are going thru !! I know your mother/mother-n-law was your rock thru all of this, bless your hearts !!! If there is ANYTHING I can do please let me know. I am not working much right now and could come to Seymour and stay w/Bryson if y'all need help. Will definitely be praying for the whole family !!!
ReplyDeleteI am praying for unspeakable, unnatural peace...and won't stop.

ReplyDeleteContinuing to lift you all in prayer.
ReplyDeleteJohn, you and your family are.going thru a terrible ordeal right now. And it is so much harder because you and Bryson are here and Alicia and Briley are at cooks. As Lynann said we are going to pray and love you thru this. Don't give up on your EMT-I yet. You are an awesome one! It is the dreaded call that at one time or another we all get. Your hospital family loves you and we are here for whatever you need.
ReplyDeleteJohn, Alysia, Briley & Bryson,
ReplyDeleteJust heard the horrible news, it is so hard to understand the "WHY." I know in HIS WORD HE tells us "this too shall pass." You kids have been thru so much pain, grief & sorrow & sadness, but I know your FAITH is strong & prayers are being lifted up to OUR FATHER in HEAVEN for strength & courage for the days to come. You & your family will be in my heart & Prayers.
Love, Prayers & Peace,

ReplyDeleteHeard the unspeakable news and it sickens one. The "WHY" factore keeps running through my head.When is enough?

Faith will lead you to heal an God will never let go of your hand,just always believe. Mourne today and smile forever of the fond memeories you will always carry in your heart. WE LOVE YOU GUYS AND OUR PRAYERS ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU.
I pray for you and your family to overcome this tragic event. As being an EMT-I myself, I dread the day I will roll up on a scene with family members. Just remember, you do this because you care and have compassion for other people. Some one was there for you through this, someday you will be there for someone else and that compassion you share will never be forgotten. Don't give up on what you do, there are not enough of us out there that can handle what we do. My prayers are with you.
