Miracle

Tuesday was an interesting day. Gabe, me, Thomas and our friends Anneke, Justin and their baby Hudson were heading back from the cabin in McCall. I text my dad to ask him something about work, and he text back and said that my brother had been in a motorcycle accident. He said he thought he was okay, but we didn't know much. He had gotten in a wreck on the freeway. We were about to get on the freeway, but figurd it would be stop and go, so we turned around to find a quicker way home. I kept calling my dad and we still didn't know what was happening. We finally found out my brother was taken in ambulance to St. Al's. This freaked us out because we thought trauma only went to st. al's. We finally got home and I sped to the hospital. My brother was in the ER, but was doing good! He had a neck brace when I went in just for a precaution. OH! And another weird thing. As I was driving to the hospital, I was tailing this tow truck. I was getting so mad, and then I noticed what he was towing. MY BROTHER'S BIKE!!! How weird is that! His bike looked not bad, so I figured he wouldn't be too bad. Here is the story my brother told.

He was driving in stop and go traffic, and it started to pick up a bit. He saw the brake lights in front of him, but thought they weren't really stopping... so... he ran into the back of a pick up going 30mph. He flew through his windshield and landed in the back of the pick up, then rolled onto the pavement. He said he then jumped up and walked to the guy driving the truck, shook his hand and said sorry.

The God thing... first of all, my brother was NOT wearing a helmet. Second, the back of the pick up was full of pillows and blankets!!! The guy had just got done moving. Seriously! PILLOWS AND BLANKETS broke my brother's fall!

Michael was the talk of the ER. They all kept cracking jokes about him landing in pillows and blankets! Michael was in a surprisingly good mood despite the fact he had just been in a crash and received about 200 dollars in tickets. He got away from the entire crash with nothing more than a sprained thumb!!! No road rash, no nothing. God is good.

We are hoping this will be a wake up call for Michael as he did not have motorcycle insurance, a motorcycle license, or health insurance. His bike wasn't in bad shape, but he is looking at quite a bit of debt. We are SO thankful though that he is OKAY!
