This last Thursday night Olivia was taking the kids to swim practice. It was at 6 p.m. so it was dark and she was turning onto  Tanque Verde road. She looked left and we don't know if the truck that she collided with had his lights off or if he just changed lanes.. either way it sent Livy's car sailing into our neighbors fence. All airbags deployed, glass flew, it was quite the wreck. Luckily a woman who is a nurse was driving home with her son who was icing  his knee so she pulled over and gave Olivia ice for her forehead which had a huge cut. She put a towel on her head to stop from bleeding.  Benjamin was on his way home from work he called Papa and after the police and ambulance and everybody left they were able to give them a blessings. I took Olivia to the ER because of her head wound. Unfortunately we went to one ER sat there for two hours only to find out that they didn't have a plastic surgeon on scene to help with the scar so we went to another ER and sat for an additional 5 hours only to not have a plastic surgeon help us.   It was probably one of the longest nights of my life.We are grateful that everyone was able to walk away from the accident including the other driver so grateful that everybody survived.  So grateful that everyone wore seatbelts. We are sad to lose our car.
