In-Laws in Bad Accident



Recommended Posts

Update:

MIL was treated and released. Both SIL's are being evaluated at another hospital. Neither is in serious condition. They were sent to different hospitals.

They were travelling here from our hometown about 40 miles away when my SIL lost control of the car, crossed the center median into the southbound traffic lanes and rolled the vehicle 4 times. Foutunantly they were all wearing seat belts, no one was ejected from the vehicle, and no other vehicles were involved. My MIL had to be removed from the vehicle by the jaws of life and was airlifted to the hospital where they evalauted, treated and released.

It was a rough night, all I could do was sit and wait. I am glad I had this place to come and keep some of my time occupied. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. They are all very fortunante not to have any serious injuries.

I am going crazy waiting on more news so I decided to post it. My mother-in-law and two of my sister-in-laws were involved in a bad car accident today. My MIL had to flown to the hospital by helicopter. I only know that much because it is on the local television station's website (My Mom called and told me it was on the 10 o'clock news). I am waiting on my husband to call with an update, I wish he would hurry up.

I am working out of town through tomorrow and then we were suppose to be heading to Mexico for my surgery. Will have to just sit here and wait for more news. It is to late for me to get a flight home tonight since we live in a smaller city.

I should say that when I did talk to my husband he said the injuries did not appear to be critical or live threatening but didn't know much else.

Hi Barb. Thanks for the update.

In 1987 my older sister was tragically killed in a car accident. I can certainly relate to those moments of knowing something happened but not knowing the condition of your loved ones.

SO glad you are giving us good news. Your SIL's and MIL are very fortunate.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
