Praise God she's alive. As you note, a long road to recovery but at least she is still with you.
Somewhat disturbing to see that the driver's side rear hood catch failed completely...that is one of THE things that is always supposed to survive a crash, as it keeps the hood from coming through the windshield.
This just goes to show several things including how your life can change in the blink of an eye. And that nothing is granted...ever. Live every day, every minute like it could be your last. Thanks for sharing this, I know if must be very, very difficult.

Your wife Nikki apparently still has work to do, simply not her time yet. God is real and this coming from a man who was all but dead 40' down in the East River circa 1985. The wife and I wish her a speedy recovery with the least amount of pain possible. Enjoy life to the fullest because we never know what's coming for us. I say this as I sit here recovering from emergency lower back surgery myself. God Bless

So glad to hear she is still alive after such a horrific accident! Praying for comfort, healing, and patience for a long road ahead.
I know many of you don’t know a rather newbie like myself, but know, I’m another powerboating brother who cares for his OSO Family!
Thanks for sharing.
Keep looking up brother!

Thank you so much for the comment. She has her days of not feeling good and then comes one where she does feel good. The good days is when she like to tell me jokingly how nice it is for me to wait on her 24/7. She is a warrior and determined to get better.

Wishing her a speedy recovery, last year we lost my mother-in-law in a very similar accident on Hwy. 62 near you. We never really found out what happened. You and your wife have been blessed with another chance, it really makes you realize how precious life is. We will be praying for her quick recovery.

Thanks again to the thoughts and prayers from everyone!! We have some good days and then there are a few bad ones in there, but small bits of improvement show through a little at a time. 2 appointments at Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tn next week with Drs, so we are hoping on good news from the last surgery.
