As many of you know, my cousin had a Gator accident. She has gone through several surgeries to repair misc damage to her lungs and intestines. She has finally gotten patched back together, and now has to heal up. She is out of danger, and all her vitals have returned to normal, such as her blood pressure, oxygen level, and heart rate. She is finally out of danger and out of ICU. She is in a regular room and on the mend. She had her drainage tubes removed and the catheter too. They have even removed the PICC line, so she can eat and drink small amounts. She has a long recovery ahead of her, but she will pull through this with the help of Physical Therapy. I have been staying at the hospital as much as possible, so not much time on here. When I have been free, I have been working in the yard. I will try my best to spend a few minutes here every couple of days if possible.

I spent time with her, because we felt it might be the last bit of time we had with her ever. She was so close to passing there a couple of times. Scary!

@JudyEv It was extremely scary, and the entire family has been worried. I am so glad that she is doing so much better. The worse part is over. She doesn't know yet that she will not get to return to school this year. She loves school and that is going to break her heart.

Yes, it was a Gator that you ride on, not an Alligator. She was racing and ran into a Pecan Tree. YIKES!
