please please pray

Oscar, Noah, Veronica and Yvonne

Hello everyone,

So yesterday afternoon Veronica (our nephew's other grandma) was hit by a bus downtown Des Moines walking to her office building. Her husband, Oscar, had just dropped her off and she was in the crosswalk (with a "walk" light) and the bus made a left turn without stopping and hit Veronica. Oscar saw the whole thing and is pretty emotional about it (obviously). This is the 6th time a DART bus has hit a pedestrian downtown in 2 years. The driver was pretty shaken up (again, obviously) and stayed with Veronica and held her hand while they waited for EMS.

Veronica was in surgery yesterday to clean out the wounds in her leg and arm. No bones were fixed yet, they are waiting for the wounds to heal a bit and make sure no infection sets in.

Obviously Veronica, Oscar and Yvonne (Noah's mom) are shaken up and emotional.

Please please be praying for them. Pray for Veronica's healing and no infection set in (if it does, they may have to amputate her leg below the knee), pray for peace for them, and please pray for the driver....I can't imagine (and don't want to) how traumatizing it can be to hit and injure a human being! Pray for everyone involved, that emotionally they can find peace. God is bigger than this and I know that He will use this awful experience for His great purpose (no matter how much it sucks right now!).....He's good at that ;)
