Shocking News for Grammy

Yesterday I awoke to a call from our daughter who is expecting. She had been in an accident. An elderly lady who had open heart surgery the week before was driving herself to her doctor's appointment and rear ended our daughter. When she crashed into her, it pushed our daughter's car into the car in front of her. All of our thoughts immediately went to Lil Man (our grandson who is due in 2 weeks).

They went to the hospital and were admitted. Careful monitoring began. We rejoiced at the steady, strong heartbeat we could hear. Thankfully, our daughter only suffered the pain from being banged up in an accident. She began having contractions and we wondered if Lil Man's birthday had been advanced by the car accident. All afternoon and evening, they continued monitoring him. An ultrasound was performed on him to check on his well-being (I believe he was waving at his Grammy!)

Doctors decided to keep them overnight and by morning the contractions had ceased and they were discharged. We are grateful for God having His hand of protection over both of them. All I can say is Lil Man is a strong little boy. They were rear-ended by another driver when she was 5 months pregnant with him.
