One moment...

One moment... changes your life forever.

On Wednesday i got a call from my husbands co-worker. "Your husband has been in an accident. He got caught in a machine at work and an ambulance is taking him to the emergency room. He is in alot of pain", they warned.

That was the moment everything changed.

I had a marathon planned for today. Instead i am sunken away in the intesive care unit making sure my husbands kidneys don't shut down.

Crushed pelvis/hip and internal bleeding.

Pray and... take a run for me.

There will be no more running for a while.

Lots of love.

    Oh my goodness. I am so, so very sorry to read this. I don't know what he does for a living, but i am praying for his recovery. Running is small potatoes compared with this. Also praying for you that you can get some help with the things at home during this time.

    I am praying for you and your family! I am so sorry you are going through this. The exact same thing happened to my brother in law (paper mill machine) and I am happy to report that altho a long journey he has healed. Not completely but has been able to find some normalcy. I wish the best for you!!!!
