Bad car accident, wife is unconscious in the hospital

[VE3GZB]

I got home to find this out today. She's got broken bones on her right side, her daughter was driving and they hit some ice and spun out.

Your good thoughts would be appreciated at this time.

Very sorry to hear about Geo, one never know when they leave home what is in store for them. I pray that your wife gets well quickly.If there is good news here, apparently her daughter did not get hurt.

Looks like you'll be doing all the chores for now.

Sorry to hear that Geo,

Hope all turns out ok.

[VE3GZB]

I told her this morning to please drive safely.....I didn't know that her daughter was going to do the driving on the way back.

And all day long I kept having these awful gut-feelings...something was wrong and I didn't know what. I was even tempted to stop by the hospital in Orangeville on the way home....but I figured it was just my imagination.

I saw the highway on the way home was closed by the cops....again gut feeling was acting up but I figured it was just some other redneck cowboy trucker who was trying to go up the hill and lost control (that happens a lot around here).

Stopping by the Orangeville hospital wouldn't have done any good anyway, Yvonne's in Toronto's St. Mikes hospital now, airlifted there with multiple broken bones on the right side and unconscious. Her brother, sister in law, sister and kids are all there and I'm sitting by the phone waiting for updates (it's a 2 hour drive to there, I'm shaking too damn much to drive right now, I'll wait by the phone for updates from the family).

Kids are ok, no damage to them, but they're shaken up of course.

praying for you and yours.

Just got off the phone with sister-in law. Injuries have been upgraded to life threatening, there's brain swelling involved. After the car spun out apparently a grave truck hit it.

I'm 2 hours away and feel so damned helpless!!

Hang in there, take a deep breath, it sounds like she's getting the best of care.

You need to be on your way to the hospital.  Please be by her side.

[WQ9E]

Contact one of your friends/neighbors to drive you; I am sure under the circumstances that many will be most willing to help.

Two hours is a long way but if one of my neighbors had this happen I would definitely not hesitate to drive the spouse to the hospital.

Contact one of your friends/neighbors to drive you;

I couldn't agree more. She will want you by her side. I know that's the way Margaret and I are.

Our prayers are with you and your wife and family.

I just called St. Mikes now. She's going into surgery right now. She'll be in surgery for several hours starting from now, they had to drill a hole to relieve pressure on her brain and her whole right side is smashed up, everything.

Her vital signs have stabilized though! Thank God!

Neighbours aren't home, nobody to drive me and I'm too much a nervous wreck to go anywhere.

I'll try to call her parents again, they're in Florida and I think they're flying up.

God bless you and protect your wife!

I'm sending up prayers for you, Geo, for her, and for her doctors. Hang in there as best you can. I know that's much easier said than done.

Hope everything works out well, Geo.

Unexpected events like this certainly are tough to handle.

All our best for your wife's speedy recovery, OM.

Sister in law is heading back home now, she called me, told me just stay home because it's too far of drive to try, still snowing outside now, hands are shaking, not concentrating.

Yvonne is in surgery right now, doctors stabilized her vital signs, put in a bore hole to relieve brain pressure and stopped bleeding on her right side. According to her brother, her whole right side has broken bones.

Car spun on ice into the path of a big damned gravel truck.

Mein liebechen, Yvonne.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you, her and the entire family Geo.  Times like these make me reflect upon my own graces and prompt me towards gratitude.  She appears to be a strong woman and I will choose to believe the best possible outcome, total recovery, is inevitable.

God bless you all.

[VE3GZB]

Thanks. Yes she's a farm girl!

Here's a picture of her when she was little.

Sorry to hear of this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.

Geo, my thoughts and prayers are with you and Yvonne. Hang in there, my friend. She needs you and your strength right now.

Road conditions must have deteriorated quite a bit. They closed much of highway 9 here.

Along the red line, where that grey kite-shaped thing is? That's where her accident happened, and Grand Valley is just above that. Her accident happened this afternoon around 1:30 today and this snapshot was taken at 9:30 pm.

I talked to her brother and my parents some more. Either her brother or her sister are staying in the hospital overnight, then we'll all go down to see her tomorrow. Hopefully she'll be awake/conscious.

I'm exhausted but I have a gut feeling that she's out of danger now. I can't explain the source of the gut feeling but it's the same source that bugged me all afternoon that something was very wrong, yet I couldn't understand why I felt that way (I only learned of all of this after I came home, just after 6 pm).

I'll try to get some sleep. The kids are sleeping over at the farm.

Good night and please keep praying for her? She's the incredible sweetheart of my life and if I didn't have her love, I'd just fall apart into a puddle of genes.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Yvonne. Go to her side as soon as you can. It's been shown that people in her condition can hear and feel the touch of your hand on hers. It's calming to them and they do better.

Thanks for sharing this with us. You can see that you have many friends on this list.

God Bless You.
