Car accident

Rob was in a car accident this afternoon, coming back from the grocery store. He rear-ended someone who had stopped to turn left. Delia was with him. Both airbags deployed. They are at Children's Hospital right now, getting X-rays for Delia. I stopped to look at the car, because I had to get the groceries out of the trunk. It looks pretty bad.

More when I learn more.

This is more than I can handle right now.

I was honestly quite frightened when I saw the car. Besides the obvious damage to the front end, the windshield was broken, with cracked lines radiating out from directly in front of the front passenger seat. I was relieved to learn from Rob, however, that the impact was made not by Delia's head, as I'd feared, but by the airbag. They were both wearing safety belts.

They gave her a teddy bear in the ambulance, which she said helped. She sounded okay when I talked with her.

Rob just called. She's feeling a little bit of neck pain, but they gave her a super Tylenol and the X-rays don't show anything abnormal, so Delia's about to be released. I'm leaving to go pick them up.

Everybody's home

Delia is moving quite stiffly, but we're exchanging a lot of hugs. She has an ironclad excuse for not going to sparring class tomorrow. Hospital said that she'd probably be quite sore tomorrow, and we should wake her in the middle of the night to give her Tylenol.

She named her new teddy bear "Patches."
