My head

Saturday, June 28, 2008 |

Well, we are all home safely from Wavelength. It was a great trip, six
students got baptized, we all got a deeper understanding of who God
is, and are ready for the summer before us.
Now for a little update on me. I am home safely, but it was somewhat
of a difficult journey. We were about 5 minutes from leaving and as a
group taking a group photo. I was on the bottom deck, six inches from
the water and jumped in. I had checked the water, it was deep enough
and i was doing a belly flop. However, when I went in the water, my
head hit a submerged rock, that I had missed in my pre-flight check.
Oops and ouch. Pastor/EMT Billy ran to me. I never loss consciousness,
but was short of breath and was bleeding from my head. I was carried
onto the boat and was met at the dock by paramedics and taken to the
hospital. The best part was when I was being taken to the boat all the
students on their own got in a circle and started praying. The prayers
worked cause my head never hurt, well maybe a little later, I now have
10 staples on my head. At the hospital i got a cat scan, my head is
fine, no damage to my brain, and my neck is just as strong as ever. My
head will heal in a week, the bad news is I cracked a vertebrae, t-4.
I already had another vertebrae cracked in 2 places (condition from
birth) A doctor told me years ago that it was a miracle I could walk.
But no matter what happens to my back, it has always been God's hands
that hold my spine together. I'm at home now resting.
Thank you for all your prayers, I'll see everyone tomorrow.
