Good and Bad news

So, my sister-in-law had her baby on Saturday early morning. She woke up at 12:30am and rushed to the hospital, ended up having the baby at like 1:20am or something ridiculous like that. I am so jealous, well kind of. This is one of my sister-in-laws who can't have a epidural so I am glad for her that it went quick. She had a baby boy that was 7.5lbs. Making the count now 4, with 3 boys and 1 girl. They are both healthy and doing well. They were able to come home from the hospital and were doing great, so Britain - the new father went to work on Monday and on the way home from moving pianos his truck was hit and sent him flying off the road rolled over the center divider and into oncoming traffic. It totalled the box van and left him upside down hanging from the seat belt. (with a side note that the box van was brand new I don't even think it was a week old yet) He was able to get the seat belt off and started to crawl out of the truck when he screamed with pain that his back hurt. He ended up being life flighted to the hospital where he has been staying. The doctors say that he has ruptured some of his lumbar vertebrae and they are going to have to go in an do surgery. Poor Britain, poor Dawn. So with all of this happening Devon called me from work today and said that he felt he needed to go home and see his brother, but he can't go this weekend because we are babysitting 3 kids in our ward, so he wants to leave after work today and take tomorrow off and come back late tomorrow night AND he wants to take Austin with him! I'm kind of excited, Austin is almost 1 and I have never been without him for more that a couple of hours, and never over night. I think it will be great! So there it is, the good news and the bad.

That is Britain laying on the ground, and we just found out that their 6 year old son was going to go with him (which he often does) but decided to stay home at the last minute (Thank goodness)

My gosh kit!! Was the accident Britt's fault or the other guy? Those pictures are amazing. I am so sorry for poor Dawn.

I am quite surprised that Devan wants to take Austin. It's a long drive with a baby strapped in a car seat and no help. I'm quite surprised. you ok with it?

Wow! I hope Britain is okay! Good for Devon for going to support his family, and even more amazing that he wants to take Austin! Good for him.
