Okay, so this last week has been really rough. I have experienced many frightening and AWESOME things. be ready for a really long post.-I will post pictures later.
SATURDAY:Nov 15- We had a volleyball tournament in Alchesay and placed 2nd. we did awesome and it was good to see my Holbrook buddies. we came home in our little bus and were dropped off at the school. then my friend's sister came and picked us up. (us being me, my friend Kylie, and my other friend Taylor) as we were driving home we wrecked. we hit head-on with another car. none of us had our seat belts on -except the driver Taylor's sister. She got a burn from the air-bag and broke something in her hand. me and my friend Kylie were in the back seat were fine we only had a few bruises and scrapes. on the other hand, my friend Taylor, who was in the passenger seat, was unconscious. we went to the ER and Taylor was flown to St. Josephs in Phoenix.
SUNDAY:Nov16- I woke up hurting really bad. I was sore all over. so i stayed home from church and rested. I kept thinking about Taylor all day. a few people visited me.
MONDAY: Nov17- I woke up a little sore but did not want to go to school. so I stayed home. my dad and I went to go pick up my friend Kylie. she was going to stay the day at our house with me because her mom and dad were in the valley for a football game. We played games, watched TV, slept, and ate food.
TUESDAY-FRIDAY: Nov 18-21- I went to school and had a volleyball game. It was normal except without my spunky Taylor. Kylie spent the night.
SATURDAY: Nov 22- Me, my mom, and Kylie went to see Taylor. I was scared but i needed to see her. It was a long drive but it was worth it. We got down there around lunch time and had Panda Express. YUMMY! Then we went to see Taylor. She was staying the PICU. We walked in and it felt really peaceful. THe light was off because they said she responds better in the dark. She was still out, and had her breathing tube in, and her feeding tube in but to see her made me feel that everything was going to be alright. We talked to her and joked with her and it felt she was wake and happy. then we got some ice cream at BASKIN ROBINS-31 flavors, and went home.
SUNDAY-MONDAY:Nov 23-24- On Sunday I had YW in excellence and then on Monday I went to school and did all the normal things.But, on Monday night we went with my dad and sully to the valley for our thanksgiving weekend.
TUESDAY:Nov 25- woke up late and went to my aunt Tennille's house to help her with her preschool while my dad was at meetings. while sully helped the baby-sitter watch griffin. It was fun and i liked helping her. then in the afternoon, my dad took me to see Taylor. the light was still off and and she still had her breathing and feeding tube in. i talked to her and felt peaceful.Then we had pizza at Tennille's house and went back to the hotel. My mom and Mitchel were coming down and were not to far away. The hotel had Dark Night and I had never seen the movie, so we watched it. IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!
WEDNESDAY:Nov26- woke up really late and got news of Taylor . the nurse told Taylor if you can hear me then wave. SHE WAVED. it was awesome to hear that. then we went to Denny's. Then, we went to our uncle Tony's house to have our thanksgiving dinner. It was delicious. I love a good dinner.we stayed the night there
THURSDAY: Nov27(Thanksgiving)- woke up and went to Boomers house. Boomer, my dad, Jeff,and their friend Dennis were going to go hunting. so while they packed up I played with Griffin (the sweetest kid in the world.) Then when they left we went to go see Taylor-for me. WE walked in and she was asleep but the light was on. Her mom woke her up and told her to wave. I couldn't believe it was her. I miss her so much at school. but i know that if i pray and fast everything will be okay. then we ate and went to our friend Jody's house. we visited her and the Karges family for a little then went home.
FRIDAY: Nov 28- I'm here posting and thinking about Taylor! have a safe holiday and wear your seat belts.
