My guy, my “Mister Irish”
was in a really bad car accident,
a week ago, 12/12.
It had just started snowing, wet and slushy.
He hit a patch of ice, went twirling around,
hit a sign and steel post and was crumpled.
Injuries were/are break in shoulder, neck
and crushed rib cage.
He was in Mercy Muskegon emergency 8-10 hours,
Transferred to ICU, on a ventilator, surgery on Monday, 12/14.
They rebuilt five ribs, mended others.
He tolerated surgery very well.
He was more comfortable indeed, after the surgery.
COVID restrictions have made it
soI have not seen him since emergency.
I have heard his voice.
We have talked briefly.
One Face Time
Whew, that news is over.
He is mending.
Off ventilator, Out of ICU
still in hospital
will be transferred to
Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital
Grand Rapids, Michigan
next week.
OT & PT had him walk a few steps,
sit/stand at bedside yesterday morning.
We visited a bit last night around nine.
He sounds more and more like himself.
I/we have been touched beyond measure
of the love, caring, prayers
from so many.
Thankful says It Mildly

Oh my goodness - what a horrible thing to have happened. But I'm so glad to hear he is on the mend and sounding more like himself. Take care of yourself, and I hope all continues to go well for your husband. -Jenn
I'm SO SORRY about Mr. Irish's accident, Lynne! I pray his mending continues. I've heard good things about rehab at Mary Free Bed...he will be in a place that will help him recover to the fullest. Please know you both have my prayers. Hugs!
Prayers dear girl
Oh Lynne, I’m so sorry to hear this news, but glad to hear he’s on the mend. I can’t imagine how difficult this must be for you both to be so separated. Thank goodness for FaceTime!! Thinking of you both and sending prayers for a quick recovery and return home to you. Big hugs!!
OH NO!!!! Such terrible news but glad he is improving! How heart wrenching it is during this time of year - and during a pandemic when you can't be with him in person. You, my dear lady, are in my prayers. You and your husband.
Hang in there Lynne, and thanks for the posts on caring bridge. Every day is a move forward. More elsewhere.
I am so glad that he is on the mend!!! Much to be thankful for. May his healing be swift. And may you find comfort in his healing and in the care of others and the strength to deal with this difficult situation.
I am so thankful to read he's doing well! I can't even imagine how hard these last few weeks, days, hours have been - only to have COVID making a difficult situation more difficult. Stay strong - I'll be thinking of you and Mr. Irish - sending all my best wishes!
Lynne, I am so sorry about your husband's injuries, and that you have not been able to be at his side. I can feel how painful that is for you, and for him. I'm glad to hear he tolerated surgery so well, and that he is mending. Thankful to God that his life was spared, and that he will recover. Winter driving can be very treacherous. Be careful out there. You and hubby are in my thoughts and prayers, Hugs, Nancy
