Well, this week was a bit crazy. Samuel did great in the chamber Monday through Wednesday. But on the way home from Salt Lake, Samuel & Kaylee were rear-ended in our Suburban in traffic on the freeway. They were hit by a Honda Accord that the highway patrolman thinks was going about 30 miles an hour. The two people in the Honda were taken to the hospital and their car was a disaster. Our suburban faired very well considering how hard it was hit. It was pushed into the car in front of it, so it sustained damage in the rear and the front. The bumpers were pushed up against the tires, so it wasn’t driveable.Anyway, Kaylee was pretty shook up. Samuel didn’t seem too affected by the accident. But Kaylee’s neck is pretty sore, so we are assuming Samuel’s most likely feels the same. So they are both seeing a chiropractor for a while just to be safe. Samuel got a massage at his first appointment and fell sound asleep during it. He also handled the adjustment well.
So, we spent all of Thursday on the phone with insurance companies and getting a rental in order. We also had to buy Samuel a new car seat because once a car seat is in a crash, they recommend you no longer use it because it can sustain stress fractures in it. So we bought a new car seat that I already dislike. I don’t know if you all remember my first quest for a car seat, but it wasn’t fun and I was lucky to find the one we had. So I will be returning the one I just bought and trying to find one like the one we had. The new one just doesn’t provide enough trunk support for Samuel.
So we’ll go to hyperbarics twice this week - once to make up for last Wednesday and once to make up for the session where he was pulled out half-way through the treatment. We’ll also be trying to fit in school and therapy and now a few chiropractic appointments. That should make for a hectic week as we try to finish up Christmas shopping as well.
Otherwise, all is good. The holidays will be a little sketchy because most of our help will be on vacation. But we should be fine. It will be nice to have the kids home for a few weeks - hopefully :)!
Thanks for everything and Merry Christmas! Keep praying for Samuel! He sure is a sweet kid!
Love,
The Jewkes
