A bit of good news and bad news

I am not sure if i want to say the good news first or if i should say the bad news first but either way, i will blog. There was an accident over the weekend and two of the kids who came in the store were badly injured. A lady ran a red light and plowed right into them. The boy, Donald, had just gotten his license and the girl, Cristina, is his sister. I feel for them. They are so young. Both of them are students at the high school close to where I work and the Cristina even came a few times to help me in the store. I watched them grow up I guess. Cristina is 16 and Donald is 17, i think. So anyway, Donald is not breathing on his own and he is worse off than his sister. Cristina is in a coma but according to a friend of the family (i am getting my updates from the neighborhood moms) they are doing better than they were on the night of the accident. The mom I talked to today said that they will recover, definitely, but they will not be the same as they were before the accident. My prayers are with them.
A little while ago, i blogged about a girl who was hit on her head with a sledge hammer by her ex-boyfriend. That was in august. She is in rehab now! She finally left the hospital. After two months, she woke up, she spoke and then she started moving a little. Miracles do happen. According to the paramedics who arrived on the scene, they had no idea how she was going to make it. Yes, she had reconstructive surgery and a little plastic surgery done but my source told me that the girl still looks very much like how she did before. I am happy for her. The prayers for her worked. She took a long time to heal and she is still recovering. Hopefully, she will not remember the incident.
I went walking around the neighborhood today. Initially, i was only going for 30 minutes but i ended up doing 10 minutes more. got carried away on the walk. I cannot say I was thinking about anything really while walking except Ami called and said that there was a WalMart that was closing down and he asked if i wanted to go and check out the sale. I happily agreed=0)
