More on car accident - Larry







Well, mom posted about Larry and the car accident. Now 24 hours later we have more details and pictures.

Larry was the one ejected from the Tahoe. Kristen was driving (32 weeks pregnant). She was seat belted in. Larry got everyone out of the vehicle after it stopped flipping (the car flipped front over tale 5 times per the police today). The airbags did not deploy at all. When Larry got Kristen out of the car her water broke. Probably from hitting the steering wheel. The first two people on sight of the accident happen to be two nurses. They waited until Kristen was air vaked and then they drove Larry and Rylee (3 yo) to the Tucson Hospital 80 miles away and waited with them for 2.5 hours until Kristen's parents arrived. They were blessings in disguise. Larry was sleeping in the car when they had the accident and remembers nothing until right before they pulled into the hospital parking lot. Kristen was in labor but by the time they landed the air vak the baby was in distress and they did an emergency c-section. They worked with the baby 1.5 hours to get her breathing again. She has been strong every since.
Rylee has a cut on her face, goose egg on her forehead and two black eyes. The baby is doing good and they are hoping to take her off the oxygen by tomorrow (Tuesday or Wednesday). If she continues to do well doctors think she can go home in two weeks. She was 4 lb. 2 oz. and 17 in long so she was good size as you can see in the pictures! Kadence Elizabeth Sanders. By the way mom, Kristen has her own blogspot that she tries to keep updated. This of course has not made it on there but she did blog right before she left Jeanie's and Duane's. It is www.ryleeandkadence.blogspot.com You can flag it and pop on there every once in a while now.
Everyone is doing well and recovering and not one broken bone - Thank God!
