Praise the Lord for insurance and His protection over Tariku! On June 18th, Titus decided he needed to help Papa and Daddy roll a hay trailer back into place, unbeknownst to the guys. There was a water tank on top and they never saw him coming. Vince felt a bump and immediately stopped, which was wonderful that he did, because the trailer would have gone over his pelvis, tummy and up his body, the way he was positioned. When Vince got him to me, his thigh was twice as big (at least) as normal and the screams were unforgettable. I rushed him in the car and we drove as he screamed "STOP IT DADDY" every time we hit a small bump. HORRIBLE! As soon as we saw the doctor they told us a helicopter was going to pick him up and take him to Children's Mercy. We were crying and the morphine was not cutting the pain. His femur was broken! As Titus left on the helicopter and we followed behind in the car, Vince and I were just overcome with thankfulness and a deep sense of God's protection over our little guy. Tears flowed and all we could do going up to the hospital was praise God. Nothing like seeing your child get in an accident to help you focus on what's really important in life. Just being able to hear him breathe and ask over and over for "DORA!"
After all the bills, it will be around 75K. Add that to the adoption and circumcision back in March (poor guy), its around 100K!
He's worth every stinkin' penny!
