Car Accident

Hello everyone..... I'm writing tonite to let you know that my son and I were involved and a bad accident today and we need your prayers please. I went to Lake Charles yesterday for my GodDaughters graduation and was on our way back today and was in Scott which is right before Lafayette. I was in the left lane and a big chevy double cab pickup came over on me. I hit my brakes and the truck was pushing me into the ditch. I hit the brakes harder and they locked up and my car started spinning out of control on the interstate and I hit another vehicle. I didn't even know what I had hit, kind of blacked out a second and ended up perfectly parked on the side of the interstate. We are ok, with God's blessing we are alive. We have no broken bones or cuts. But we are both so VERY sore. Kasey will be ten next Sunday, this is not the best birthday gift for him. He is really suffering with his neck. My entire body hurts, but mainly my right side. We went to the ER and the doctor said she see's this all of the time but hardly ever sees it when two people come out as good as me and he did. We certainly had angels around us. My car is totalled though. Im very upset about that. I just got it six weeks ago. It was a Lexus and it was my most favorite car I've ever had. The car was towed to my house. The bill was over $300 and they needed cash....needless to say I didn't have it, but thank goodness my parents came to the rescue so my car could be released. I have full coverage and also the truck is at fault. But this is something that is going to set me back. I need your prayers for strength!!!! My body is hurting soooo bad right now....I'm going bathe and going to bed! You never know what tomorrow will bring!!!! I'm still a bit in shock over it all.

Christie, sorry about the accident. It sounds like it could have had fatal results. God is faithful! I will be praying for you and Kasey for a full and speedy recovery. Those muscles will need some TLC for a few days. I imagine when you get up this morning you are going to feel it! Take care. Patricia

I'm so sorry to hear about the accident. I can only imagine how shocking the whole thing must have been. You were definitely being protected from above! I'm also sorry to hear about your car. It's disappointing to lose something you worked so hard to get and loved so much. Please make sure you get plenty of rest and take good care of your self. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Glad you both are ok. Could have been so much worse. I know you will be sore today when you wake up. Take care of yourself and you both will be in my prayers. Denise

Thank God, you and your son are OK. Pain will go away, your car will be replaced and the man that hit you will get a big ticket. I will pray that God will lift you out of this in your time of need. Cindee

Christie: I am sorry to hear about your accident. I can really relate, though. Last year, about 2 1/2 mos. after my surgery, my car was totalled when a car coming the opposite direction, didn't make the curve and kept coming straight at me. He hit me right behind the driver's door and my car spun out of control. It finally came to a stop resting on the passenger side. I don't remember the car rolling, just spinning and spinning and what a horrible feeling that was. I hope I never go through that again. I don't know if your airbags went off, but mine did (don't remember that either) and I ended up with the most spectacular black and blue marks. My entire chest from my breasts to my collar bone turned black/blue. Mostly I was just very sore and had to stay home a week from work. I'm glad I had my seat belt on or it could have been a lot worse. It's a good thing I was by myself at the time. I always make my grandkids ride in the back seat, and that was where the worst of the damage was. As they were lifting me into the ambulance, I was sooo thankful I had had this surgery. At that point I had lost about 40 lbs. In fact, I remember being happy that morning because I had finally gotten below 220. The next day, I had gained about 4 lbs back in fluid. So don't be surprised it the scale goes up, it's just fluid. The best thing to do right now is rest--if you can. Now you have to deal with insurance companies, adjustors, car rental, getting a new vehicle and just trying to get your life back to where it was before the accident. I will keep you in my prayers.

OMG, Christie,, I am soooooo sorry for your horrible experience,, That really sucks,, Thankfully and knock on wood I have never been in a accident , But I imagine they can be scary as can be,, It DEFINITLY sounds like you had some angels on your side ,, I don't know if your takin any legal action but please remember that injuries can hide for awhile and also my mom got hit by a 18wheeler about 10 years ago and is just now in the past 5 years really feeling it,, she can't do alot,, So make sure you have some of your medical bills covered by him,, also sue him for the towing bill,, Thats crazy $300 dollars, you would think they would be understanding huh!! Well definitly rest rest rest and let us know how your doing in a few days,, I am soo sorry about your son,, Hopefully he will be soo excited about his bday he will forget about it for that day!

Wishing you the best, I am sorry you had to go through that. Take care of yourself. Jodi

Christie I seriously hope you and Kasey are doing good. I hope he is feeling much better by his birthday. People are crazy and they don't care about others. I'm so glad that the two of you are safe. You seriously had some guardian angels around you.... blessings to you both as you will be in my prayers Diane

Oh Christie I am so so sorry!! I have been in a few accidents and they are NO fun!! I hope you were able to get your tummy looked at, that would have scared me to death! I hope I am not scaring you, that is not my intention, I just want you to be okay!!! I am so glad you and your son are at home and resting!! God bless those angels that was looking over you during that ordeal!! If there is anything you need help with let me know! Hugs, Tracey
