this week was homecoming, there was to be a parade, the freshmans float was being welded on and caught on fire so after all the decorations burned off they decided to change the theme to "smoke the pirates" as the parade got underway the driver of the p.u. ran into a parked car.. the trailer wasnt hitched correctly and it came off the ball, without emergency chains it pitched up and dumped all the freshmen students onto the ground three of them were knocked out and taken to the hospital in ambulances one of the girls(this is horrible) fell under the trailer and as it came back down after dumping the kids it crushed her skull .. she was lifeflighted to boise ,,, we havent heard much about her condition yet... a witness said she had open wounds on the back of her head and blood coming out of both her ears... my mother called me at work when she found out , i tried to get hold of someone to tell me if my two high school daughters were involved ,,, my daughter shawnee was spose to be on that float and was boarding it when my daughter christine made her get off and ride with the cheerleaders on the football float(thank god) i was so upset i had to leave work ,,, i hope this girl is okay and has a speedy recovery...

yes, same accident, we live in a small town so everyone knows everyone else,,, funny(not that any of this is funny)thing by the end of the day the town rumors were flying and the one story was that the float exploded injuring scores of children ect ect........ i know the girl was taken from that hospital to another but they wouldnt say which , which tells me im sure she has been sent out of state , which im sure means that her condition is not good.......... but ill keep praying for her and her family ..

How tragic, for all involved.
It is one of those stories that reminds a person to count their blessings every single day.

my daughter told me that martha woke up and tore her tubes out so they sedated her again and induced a coma, they say that her brain has swelled so that she is completely deaf, though you get the feeling that this will pass as her brain reduces in size and healing is more complete , thank you for all your prayers for this family,,
