    We are so glad to hear you are better Annie was really worried…. and I can’t believe someone put up a fuss about moving thier vehicle, they shouldn’t be parked up by the gym doors anyway…

    Good to see a happy ending to this story. Great job by all staff, nurses, and medical personnel. EXCEPT for the person in the white truck who decided to spend time cussing me out for asking her to move her truck to make room for nurse, fire truck, and ambulance.

    Truly Blessed……
    Bre was non-responsive for over an hour. During which time everyone scrambling to help. Medic’s doing their jobs and showing such compassion. Parents and classmates trying to help any way possible.
    Racing to the hospital to find Mrs. Perry waiting. Lisa and Jensen arrive as family begin to pour in. Bro. Tim there for us all. As the trauma center team is busy working on Bre. Chaplin Larry placing us all together in a room and keeping us posted on Bre’s rapid recovery. A multitude of prayer’s lifting our Bre up to the mighty hands of God….

    Bre is now home resting with a major headache!!!
    To each and every individual…. from the depths of this Mother’s heart ~
    God Bless You
