Back on August 25, while on our family summer vacation, my oldest daughter (Karen, age 13) and my husband, Todd were severely injured while
parasailing in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. They were life-flighted to a trauma hospital in Norfolk, Va. Todd suffered a spinal cord injury amongst other very severe injuries. After a week in the trauma hospital, Todd was able to take an angel-flight/air-
ambulance to a local rehabilitation hospital in our area.
Karen was also injured quite severely, but has since returned to school. I appreciate all the prayers, cards, positive thoughts for their (and our entire families) healing. It will be a few more weeks before I return to stamping and blogging. Thank you for your patience!

Dear Beth,
I am just learning of the accident, and I will lift up their continued recovery in my prayers. ((hugs)) to you all.
I am sorry to hear about your family! My prayers are with you! A friend of ours is vacationing there now and a man was parasailing, landed near him on the boat, he jumped in to help, but out to sea he went. They stopped searching. I am glad you are all alive.
Blessings!
Oh my goodness! This is the first I have heard of this. I am so sorry! I hope they both have a speedy and full recovery!
Oh my gosh, Beth...I was wondering why you weren't blogging. What an ordeal you've all been going through. I hope your family recovers fully and quickly. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing and remember there are a great deal of stampers out there who care! Debbie from Buffalo, NY

Beth, I am in tears reading this. Unfortunately I have an idea what you are going through. My brother suffered a spinal cord injury many years ago and it is one of the toughest things for everyone involved to deal with. I will be praying very hard for his recovery. If you ever need a shoulder, or want to ask about my experiences with hospitals and doctors and rehabs, please feel free to email me. xo
