Bad News

I just received a call from my mom that my sister was in a car accident traveling from MSP back home to North Dakota.  They think she is going to be ok but she was hit by a semi and has a head injury.  In as few words as possible, I'm freaked out.  The worst part about it is I don't think I can get to her.  My parents are on their way but it is still a 2 1/2 hr. drive for them in heavy snow.  Any T&P or advice would be really appreciated.

Re: Bad News

  • Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry to hear this! It's good that your parents are going. You stay put. There isn't much that you'll be able to do and it's not worth the risk of driving in the snow (since so many people get stupid when they see snow). I'll be thinking of your family. Please let us know how things are going.

  • I'm so sorry! I'd be freaking out too, but I seriously think that you should stay put. It isn't safe to drive in the snow and you'll be worrying about your sister the entire drive-- not a good combo.

    Tons and tons of t&p to you, your sister, and your parents. Please keep us posted!

  • T & P to your sister, you and your family. I am so sorry. Like everyone else said, you need to stay put! You don't need to drive in crappy weather and need to care of yourself and the little one inside of you. Try to relax ( I know easier said than done).

    Please keep us posted.  ((((((Hugs))))))

  • Def stay put. You will be much too upset to drive and your family doesn't need another accident. I know it's hard not to be there, but your sister will know that you wish you could be. ::hugs::
  • T&P your way. I hope everything is ok!
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • Oh Lucky I'm so sorry.  I can't imagine what you are going through right now.  My thoughts are with you and your family.
  • Oh geez, how scary!  I am really hoping the best for you and thinking positively!!!
  • Thanks everyone.  I have a cousin who lives in the same town and works in a different area of the hospital so she was going to go stay with her until my parents arrive.  My other sister's BFF lives in town so they were going to see if she could sit with her as well.  She was able to talk to my dad so that's a positive sign. 

    I'm going to stay here unless something drastic happens.  And the good news is that there is a train that will take me there so I don't have to drive.

  • Oh Lucky I am so sorry to hear the news...I will certainly send t&p your way.  Definitely a good sign that she was able to talk to your dad.  Keep us posted if you can.

  • So sorry to hear this... T&P to you.  So many car accidents lately.  Just this morning, my cousin's wife was in a terrible accident and had to be air-lifted to the hospital.  She's still unconscious in SICU but they are hoping for the best.  Definitely stay off the roads, it would be bad enough to drive there worried and distracted, definitely dont do it in the snow.  
  • Many T&P for you and your family. Please keep us posted on your sister's recovery.

  • I just got off the phone with my mom again.  They made it to my sister shortly before a no travel warning was issued.  13 staples and a lot of pain later, little sis was able to leave the hospital!  They are going to collect her belongings from the towing company and then to check in to a hotel.  Sigh.

  • Oh good! I'm glad it wasn't anything super serious. Though getting hit with a semi=super horrible and scary!!

  • Holy crap, Lucky, that's terrifying!! I'm really glad she was able to go to a hotel with your parents... Wow. I hope she is OK and recovers super quickly!!
    I'm friends with everybody in this office. We're all best friends - I love everybody here. But sometimes your best friends start coming into work late, and start having dentist appointments that aren't dentist appointments. And that's when it is nice to let them know that you can beat them up.
