Crying...just thinking about what to call this post???

My dear friend Margo and her family were in a terrible accident this week. One that "headlined" every news station late Sunday evening! One that's title read:

"Accident in Bluffdale, leaves 2 dead..one in critical condition"
  (Margo was the one in critical condition) here's a few photo's of the rubble

The other car just came spinning across Redwood Road out of nowhere and slammed right into the Lybberts car.  Rick and the kids were a little bumped and bruised. However, Margo was taken to the nearest hospital where they found out she had a broken neck. Her c6-c7 vertebrae was fractured and moved like 6mm. She had to be put in a "halo" which gives me nightmares to even think about, and once they had her spine back in place, they were able to go in and repair the damage. She had part of her hip bone removed to make part of the repair and fuse the spine back together. I kid you not....the doctors absolutely are scratching their heads in disbelief that she wasn't paralyzed in any way...THANK GOODNESS!!!
She has soared through this thing...she is my hero. I love her with all my heart.  I am so lucky to have her in my life. I can't help but laugh and smile when I am with her.  She feeds my soul!
Tomorrow she comes home....
There will be many struggles left to overcome as she has to wear a neckbrace 24/7 for the next 6-12 weeks, and she will be in quite a bit of pain during recovery! But she is "Super Margo" and she will fly through it all with such dignity.
Lisa and I are in charge of keeping track of the folks that want to help with kids, cleaning, and dinners. Let me just tell you, THERE IS NOW A WAITING LIST. We may have to start taking applications:) Margo is truly loved!
Here are a few photo's of her in the hospital. I know she will hate them now, but someday she will love me for taking them! Please continue to pray for her and her sweet family.  We still don't know much about the couple in the other car except that they were in their 70's and driving super out of control. So sad for them and their families also.

 Lisa and I took her kids up to the hospital last night for the first time....this is them picking out the perfect bouquet for their Mama.

Troy, Lindsie, and Mallory...ready to go see their Mom for the first time. They were so excited!

 I wanted to post this picture just to show Margo how "rock bottom" I hit! That darn "Lisa" snuck in a shower while I was at cheer practice. But she pretty much looked as hammered as me all day. We were trying to take care of the house, the puppy, the kids (we kept all 10 between the 3 families) out of school on Monday, the laundry, and most of all the tremendous amount of phone calls between friends and neighbors! It was a full time job in itself:) Not to mention, we were emotionally a wreck...everytime I had one minute to myself in the car, I would just break down and cry. I mean "really" cry.   Margo usually takes care of us...so this time, IT WAS OUR TURN. And we felt honored. There's not much you can ever do for that girl!!!!!

 She is going to "cut me" for taking this. But look how sweet Mallory is looking at her! The funny thing is, she was asking Margo "how the paramedics cut her clothes off without seeing her naked?" That really concerned her:) lol

And lets not forget her sweet husband "Rick." I have never seen this man so emotional. He has not left her side in 4 days now...not even for a minute! He is so grateful for the outcome of this whole thing. This is him talking to our Bishop and his wife Jolie.  Jolie is crying because she just saw the xrays of Margo's spine. It is a miracle. Life is so precious!


Now, here's my favorite photo of all....that's my girl!  I cry every time i look at it!!!
Her first walk!!! yipeeeeee

Love you "Margarita!"
