Sebby's near death experience...

Today I learned a beautiful lesson...

My uncle Sebby here in Arizona had a terrible car accident today on his way from my house but on his way to work. He called me earlier this morning to ask me if I wouldn't mind taking care of his 2 year old daughter Abby (whom I'm secretly obssessed with lately) since his wife Marcy had to take care of a few things at work this morning. Me babysitting Abby? Nope not a problem, ya know just bring her over.

My uncle Sebby has a seizure disorder and ended up having a seizure while on the highway approaching his exit. The last thing he remembered before completely going into his seizure was that he was hitting the metal railing along the highway. The next thing he remembered was that the paramedics from the ambulance were pulling him out of the side window after they broke the glass to get him out. Since he went into his seizure he had no recollection whether or not he hit another car or what happened to his car.

My Mamus received a call from Marcy hysterical and asking my Mamus to come to the hospital. So my Mamus and I quickly got dressed and I drove to the hospital since I knew she was already an emotional train wreck. As I was driving on the highway approaching the hospital all I could do was check both sides of the highway searching for car parts and hoping "God, please let Sebby be okay and in one piece".

When we got to his emergency room my body had gone numb, and it brought back so many memories for me of when I had been in the emergency room 7 years ago when I was a sophomore in high school. I hate hospitals, I hate the way they smell, and I absolutely hate needles. I know I don't like using the word "hate" but in this instance I can stand using it.

As his room MT 1 was approaching my heart started beating faster and I had my Mamus go in front of me. I saw Marcy from behind the curtain red faced and drained from crying so hard, and then I saw Sebby with his hospital gown on and his red and white Nike gym shoes. I was completely ecstatic and relieved. I could at that moment not been any happier to see him. Marcy and Sebby have been the one thing in Arizona that I have helped me get through so much this summer. And I would not be as happy as I am now if it wasn't for them.

I saw Marcy holding his hand and all I could think about was how amazing God truly is and how present he is in my everyday. I see the love this couple has for each other and I only pray that one day I will find that...what a beautiful lesson I learned today...thanks God!
