On December 16th at 6:30am I got a call from my sister. She told me toget dressed... I asked why over and over and told her that I have togo to work... she siad that I wasn't going to work today, Jake was in an accident and that my dad and her were comming to get me. I called in to work, got dressed, and picked up not knowing what happened. We arrived and my mom told me that Jake is paralized. Right away I went to call my best friend, but my phone was at phone so I had to call my aggie to get her number. I called her up and told her what happened and she said she'd be there/ here as soon as possible. But I went to pick her up anyway. We got back to the hospital in time for the surgen to let us know how surgery went and he told us that he was for sure paralized from the chest down, but he could still use his arms... limitedly for now, but he could use his arms. After we found out, everyone inthe family just held eachother and cried. My bestfriend was my driver for the day, bcuz I couldn't drive.
we went out to my sisters place and I took a nice hot long bath... I saw my niece and just started to cry because I had to tell her what happened to her uncle Jakey... she wanted to know why I was sad. Around one we all went back up to the hospital and we were all able to see Jake. He remembered everything, and everyone.
The driver of the vehicle was drunk and lost control while taking the only turn by Huntersville... the truck rolled many times and they both were trapped in the vehicle.
I'm not mad at the driver, but he only walked away with a couple of scratches. I'm happy that he was able to call 911, bcuz that's what saved my brother!
I'll keep posting... prolly more clearly than this one. Write... pray... anything. I need my friends right now!!!
