Praise be to God

Over the weekend I recieved a call from my mom telling me that my sister and her family had been involved in an accident. They were on the way from Seattle Washington to Lubbock for a funeral. In Cheyenne, Wyoming there were really bad road conditions, ice, snow...and while traveling up a low hill their SUV started to slide back down. It then slid down an embankment, flipping several times. When it stopped my sister said she heard crying outside, then looked back and saw all their windows broken out, and didn't see her 4 yr old in the vehicle. She jumped out and saw her laying in the snow several feet up the embankment. She ran to her and lifted her up, while her husband yelled "No! Don't move her!". She wanted to...needed to...get her out of the snow..and didn't think about checking for neck injuries. Her daughter was crying and said, "Mama, this isn't fun anymore." She said she then laid her in the suv and she and her husband started checking her for injuries. They are both active Army military, and that sweet girl coudn't of had anyone there better to take care of her. They would of known exactly what to do. Thank the Lord, she seemed to be ok. Her husband then went to climb up the hill to try to find help...they couldn't get any cell phone reception. Several cars passed him by before an 18-wheeler truck driver stopped. Thank goodness he stopped when he did because my sister said they were all getting really cold. He told them that he almost didn't because he had been robbed by gunpoint before for stopping for someone. But the Lord had the perfect person stop because he had access to his radio to call for help, plus a warm bed and TV in the back for my sister and her 4 yr old and her 6 month old. He even had the movie Cars that he put on for my niece to watch so she could calm down.

By the grace of God everyone is perfectly ok. They were completely checked out at a local hospital, several x-rays, MRI and cat scans later. The hospital even paid for a hotel for them to stay at for several days and provided them the transportation there. They thought about flying back home from there, but decided that they were close enough to Texas to go ahead and come this way, plus they really want to spend time with family after this, as we want to spend time with them. I told her I wouldn't of let her leave Wyoming without seeing her and her family. They are so precious to me and am praising God for the miracle of saving their lives.

They have rented a vehicle to come to Texas, and will fly home from here. We offered to fly them here, or go there to pick them up, but they wanted to be able to see his family in Lubbuck and then come here to spend time with our family. The reason we are not there in Wyoming with her now is because she didn't call anyone until Sunday, all of this happened Saturday! She said she didn't want to call until she knew everyone was ok, or if anyone had to stay in the hospital. Please pray for them as they continue to travel this way today, and that they have a safe flight home. All praise and Glory be to God!
