We had the closest call of our lives Tuesday afternoon. While out watching my 3 boys play in the front yard my phone rang with a call from a customer and I stepped away for 1 minute. In the time it took me to walk into the door my 4 year old son Bryson ran into the street and was struck by a truck! My other boys came in screaming that Bryson had been hit by a car but was alive! The next few minutes seemed more like a nightmare than a reality. It is still hard to believe that this really happened. We must have had an angel watching over us that day because though I rushed him to the hospital and we stayed overnight he suffered nothing but scrapes, bruises, and a concussion. He was checked from head to toe inside and out. He was one lucky boy and I am one lucky and grateful mom!! Too often we have the mindset that it couldn't ever happen to me until one day it does. That instant has changed my life. I will never again take a second for granted with my children and now know that the worst things can happen if you take your eyes off of them for even a second. Thank you all for your prayers! Bryson is happy to be home, doing great, and recovering quickly! He's still hobbling a little but it doesn't slow him down much. :) I would also like to say what a wonderful Hospital Cook Children's is. The entire staff from the Trauma Team, the IV team who made sure that Bryson who was terrified of shots didn't feel a thing from the blood work or IV, the doctors, nurses and even the music rehabilitation lady were absolutely wonderful! I have never met such wonderful and caring people in my life!
