Caleb and Lynnete Were Hurt

Last Wednesday (8 Feb), Caleb and Lynette were hurt in a freak accident. They were walking to Caleb's school when a tire fell of the axel of a moving boat trailor. Lynette was pushing Noah in a stroller and Caleb was walking right behind them. Lynette saw the tire, pushed Noah out of the way and then went back for Caleb. The tire hit her right leg really hard and then went straight toward Caleb. Two skull fractures, fractured chin, fractured jaw at both mandibles, three lost baby teeth (four after an operation) and a lung contusion. Caleb had to undergo surgery to put plates in his chin, pins in his jaw, and now his jaw is wired shut to allow healing. Caleb was released to go home last night. I'll write more, but wanted to thank all those who were praying for him. We now have to deal with feeding a five year old a diet where he doesn't have to chew (extremely challenging). There are still a few issues with his skull fractures, but the brain membranes were not broken and it appears there was no brain damage. Lynette's right leg is still injured and she has appointments set up to figure out how severe the injury is (no broken bones, but probably some ligament and joint damage). Caleb has recovered remarkable well and we continue to pray for a safe and quick recovery. He should be back in school in about a month.
I'll write more later on the whole event from my perspective. The accident had lots of island wide news coverage. Here's a link to an article in one of our papers.
