Its so amazing how in the blink of an eye your whole life can change. Sunday morning when I woke up, everything was turned upside down in one night. I had ten missed calls on my phone. Half were from Marsha and half were from Tara. Marsha was trying to get in touch because her room mate Jasie Gautreau had been hit by a car crossing a cross walk on LSU's campus. Obviously the girl did not see her and just drove straight through her basically. She is doing OK. She has 3 fractures on her skull and a little bleeding in her brain but its nothing that can be fatal right now. She is going to be ok, its just going to take some time. She is still in ICU right now because they are just watching her condition. I am hoping that she gets into a room by the end of this week. It could have been much worse. Tara was trying to get in touch with me because her cousin Steven was involved in a motorcycle accident and is not expected to make it. He is hemorrhaging on both sides of his brain. They are giving him a 15% chance to live, and if he does live he is not going to be the same Steven. So, can I say it was an exhausting weekend. Its not everyday that 2 people you know and are friends with end up in ICU. I am just praying so hard that everything works out the way its supposed to be. It just makes us realize we can not take anything for granted.
