On Friday, Jan 2nd, 2009 Sherline was working at McDonalds when Erin, Margaret and Grandma Kay came to visit her. Shortly after leaving they were in a very serious car accident. Sherline saw the ambulance and fire trucks go by her work and immediately felt sick. She called Erin and no one answered. She called Kay 's phone and was told she needed to come to the scene. When she got to the scene, they would not let her see Margaret. Erin and Grandma Kay were taken to St. Mary's to be treated and were released. Margaret was life-flighted to the University. She is suffering from severe head trama, where they had to shunt her head to release pressure. Other injuries were 2 broken femurs and a broken neck. She is in the pediatric intensive care at the University. The doctors say that it is too early to give a prognosis but if she does make it through this she will probably be paralyzed from the neck down. The extent of the head trauma is unknown at this time. Please pray for a miracle for they do happen. Our faith is strong but we need the circle of prayers to embrace the family during this difficult time. Sherline, Eric, Erin, Katharine, Patrick, and Margaret need our support!

Good evening. 

Margaret has been doing pretty good.  We are not getting in all the therapy that we did at KKI but we are getting some in which is better than what we have done in the past.  She stood in the stander for over 2 hours yesterday.  We have been getting stim done, and the tape on her shoulders.  We are keeping a nice notebook for all the therapy she is doing and we are up to 30 miles on her bike.  I am still working on adding the pledged miles.  Hopefully she is getting stronger and stronger everyday. 

Tomorrow morning we are going to the dentist so we will see how that goes.  I will keep you posted.  I still have not heard anything about her getting her infusions yet so I am still working on that.

I do have several prayer requests please if you don't mind. I know you all have been a great group of prayer warriors.  My mom is still having a hard time from her back surgery,  the nerves are waking up and apparently are painful. She feel out of bed this morning and cut herself and ended up calling an ambulance because I guess I did not wake up when the phone rang. so she finally got Erin up to get me so I had to head out to the hospital.  My dad has been in ICU in Oklahoma,  he is really struggling with breathing and getting his oxygen up.  He has been really weak so please pray for him. I am hoping to go down soon to help him out for a short time.  Katharine ended up with a broken nose this weekend and we are looking at possibly having it fixed on Thursday but will know more tomorrow,  And Erin is having oral surgery next Friday and has a cast on her arm.  I fell very stretched out and overwhelmed.  Then to top it off we have lost 4 nurses in 4 weeks,  Some reasons have been 1 took a job with benefits and she was single mom, Can't blame her,  Our former nurse we just got back had a medical issue and had to quit for the summer.  We hired one on Thursday and was only here for a couple of hours, she called in Monday then quit because I am overbearing.  She was not even here long enough to know how I am.  One quit because I guess I hurt her feelings.  I honestly feel that it boils down to the fact that they can not handle that I am a hands on mom and I am not changing.  We were suppose to interview with 2 today and 1 backed out before coming due to another interview and the other one seemed really nice and is going to try and work but can only work 1 day a week.  This is a huge struggle for us so please say some prayers.  Because it is really putting us in a difficult position with having no nurse and everyone injured and not able to help us out. So please pray God leads us to the right person to have in our home.  Please continue to pray for Margaret that she continues to grow and get stronger and she continues to do well with her therapy. 

I hope you guys have a great night and God Bless you all.
