Believe it or not

So these last two weeks have been the most difficult and eventful two weeks my family has had in a very long time. Two weeks agao today my nephew passed away from SIDS. It has been extremely hard on my whole family, especially my sister and my brother-in-law, as to be expected.

Saturday March 21st: my niece fell off her nike and broke her collar bone.
Sunday March 22 nd: my nephew, son of my sister and brother-in-law who just lost their son, was jumping on the tramp with his 15 year old aunt. He landed wrong and broke his leg.

Wednesday March 25th: was the funeral. One kid can't move her arm or shoulder and one 3 year old in a wheel chair because they couldn't cast the leg until thursday.

Saturday March 28th: Brother-in-law that lost his son took his 2 year old daughter to the urgent care thinking she had an ear infection. Doc on call was helping out and happened to be a pediatric heart specialist. He diagnosed her with a heart murmur. No one can figure out why it took so long to find or discover the murmur.

Tuesday March 31st: My little sister was at school when some kids decided to bring a homemade bomb to school and set it off. It was a 2 liter bottle with household cleaners, and pool chlorine in it. It went off 20ft from my sister, who luckily wasn't injured, but my cousin that goes to the same school was burnt on her neck and the back of her arms. The school didn't call 911 for 2 HOURS!!!!  LOTS OF PEEVED PARENTS!!!! School thought it was vingar and baking soda, and treated the students for such. (go to azcentral. com and in the seach box look for Q.C. school bombing, or something for that effect to find the article)

Thursday April 2nd: Sister and brother-in-law that just lost their son were in a car accident while taking the 2 year old to a pediatic cardiologist. They had the son with a broken leg and the 2 year old with the heart murmur with them. The van is totalled. All 5 air bags didn't deploy. Sister broke her right arm at the elbow and at the wrist.

Seriously. . . . I can't make this stuff up!

You can check out the our blog to see all the updates, and pictures if any of you would like. I can post the link to the blog in my profile.

As my sister puts it there are no more tears to cry about things happening so she just laughed. It's no laughing matter, but I too am at the point of laughing.

The accident wasn't their fault. The car turned left in front of them, and he tried to miss it. An off duty fireman witnessed the whole thing.

Hopefully we can get this all out of our systems now. . . .I'm due in 20 days. I need all the good luck I can get!

Oh my gosh well just don't make any plans to fly in the near future. It sounds like you guys are getting 10 years worth of bad times out of the way. I hope things turn around and in a big way.

Hang in there!

I don't even know what to say! All I can say is I am so sorry your family is going through so much...I mean...this is a lot at one time. But God has been watching out for the rest of your family and has been protecting them in a great way it seems, even though these crazy things have happened. I'll be praying for your entire family! God will see you through each day.
