It is the phone call that no parent ever wants to get about their child. Right after midnight on June 26th (which would be June 27th) Vance's phone rang and it was a friend of Paige that she was out with. He said that they had been riding 4-wheelers and had an accident. They were riding side by side going pretty slow and the other 4-wheeler bumped the front wheel of the one Paige was riding on the back of, it jerked and threw her off backwards head first on to asphalt. (Not wearing a helmet I must add! At first they didn't think it was bad and then she passed out. They ended up calling an ambulance and we raced to the hospital to meet them there. It was very hard seeing my baby come riding in on a stretcher from an ambulance. I was in denial that anything bad was wrong. It just doesn't happen does it? They said they were taking her to the head trauma unit, and had put her on a ventilator. I thought I was dreaming. We finally got to see her. Walking into the room seeing her laying there in pain, on a ventilator, covered in blood and vomit was not the picture I had imagined before walking in there. My faith was put to the test. God did heal her quickly becaise of all our dear friends and family praying for her healing. God is so good. She went off the ventilator after 2 days and was home in 7 days. Even the doctors were amazed at her progress!! She will go for her next MRI this Friday to find out if she can go back to work and school. She still has bad headaches, vision trouble and doesn't taste food. That should all return with time. Thanks to all who called, texted, e-mailed, prayed, visited and worried right along with us. We love you all truly and could have never survived this tragedy without you and God's healing hand.
