All my boys are home! (July 10)



This has not happened in many years - all my boys together in one room (even if it is a hospital room). Bethany was so excited to see all of them together!


From left - Jeff (B-Lo), Ben, Chris, and James (Bucky). It only lasted a couple of hours because that same evening Chris and Julie left for their honeymoon and Ben went back to UAlbany that afternoon. But for a short time we were together!

I am so thankful they were able to see each other and were able to brighten Bethany's day!

Bethany in car accident!



My daughter, Bethany (23), was a passenger in a vehicle that was hit head on by someone who crossed the center line. The accident occured on June 30 around 11:15 pm.

Bethany fractured both of her wrists and broke every bone in her face. She had surgery on July 6 to repair the broken bones and has her jaw wired shut for the next 6-8 weeks. She is still in alot of pain but each day the swelling goes down and she looks more like herself! She was finally able to leave the hospital on July 14.

She may require more surgery in the future to repair her nose and put cheek implants in.

Thankfully she has no permanent injuries!

We love you, Bottan, and are praying for your recovery.
