The Car Accident

So my mom, sister, Garrison and i were in an accident 2 weeks ago this coming saturday. We were driving by the Mt. Timp temple and were talking about some house we had seen when we were hit. We didnt see the car hit us we just remember a loud noise and were suddenly stopped. We are all doing ok now. The only person that might still be hurting is my mom. But she was on the side that the car hit so she would be the one that sustained the worst injuries. I just got burns from the air bag, which healed within a couple of days after the accident. Lots of triple antibiotic ointment was used!! I got eveyone out of the car after the accident and tried to calm them down. My moms door was stuck so I ran over and ripped open her door. When I saw that she was bleeding from her nose and head I took of my hoodie and fast as i could, I am pretty sure I showed some skin, hehe, then told her to wrap it around her head to help stop the bleeding. We then sat on the side of the road and waited til the ambulance came. They were very worried about us because we couldnt tell them what had happened. It happened really fast. Apparently a guy that was driving towards us was trying to pass the car in front of him didnt see us and hit us on the front drivers side. He crossed a double yellow line in the process and was at fault, which was somewhat comforting because I dont have insurance!!! Also I had to tell them that I was about 8 weeks pregnant so they have to do ultrasounds and make sure there wasn't any internal bleeding and also to check on the baby, which the baby was doing just great. My due date is OCT 16. Anyways we are all doing fine now and are all ok with driving. I think because we didnt actually see the car hitting us. But i just thought that I would up date everyone. Oh my moms car is totaled and she will have to be purchasing a new vehicle.
My mom hit her nose on the steering wheel and or air bag so she has had a swollen nose and it was also bleeding at the time of the accident. She also somehow sustained a head injury and we aren't sure how it happened. Mickey thinks that maybe it was from her fingernail he said you have no idea what really happens in an accident, which is totally true since we have no idea what happened. But this is blood from her head wo
This is Garrison neck after the accident. He just had a burn and bruise from the seatbelt. Luckily he wasn't hurt worse. Mostly he was just scared and it didn't help that I was strapped down to the gurny and couldnt hold him or help him.
This is the car after the accident. It is interesting because 1 i thought the accident was way way worse then it looks 2 i thought we were hit more head on and 3 i thought we were hit hard from the back as well but there was just this tiny little scratch, which i am very grateful that we weren't hit harder because Garrison was on that side and he could have gotten seriously injured.
