Wreck

Yesterday, we were heading into town when we saw a wreck on the interstate on the opposite side of the road. Since there were no emergency vehicles there yet, we pulled over to see if we could help. It wasn't good. A lady hit a tractor who was mowing on the side of the road. The tractor driver was fine, but the lady was trapped in her car. She had 3 girls whom were sitting on the side of the road. They seemed okay with some cuts. The lady was conscious, but the problem was her little boy. He was probably around 2 years old. There were people working on him, but he wasn't breathing. They did get a pulse, but he never breathed on his own.

Finally, the emergency people came and they put the baby in the ambulance. Later, they cut the woman out of her car, and took the family to the hospital in helicopters. I still don't know if the boy lived. We sure were praying for him and the whole family.

We've come onto the scene of many accidents before the emergency vehicles show up. We help as much as we can, but our main purpose for being there is to pray. Continue to pray for this baby.

We found out that the baby died later that evening. Some things we will never understand.
