Beautiful Day, a Crash, and a Thousand Blessings

On a beautiful day in January, while riding their motorcycle, a young woman pulled out in front of them. They were on a major highway in Florida approximately five miles from their Florida residence. Traffic was heavy and moving at fifty-five miles per hour. The accident was catastrophic and left them near death. This story depicts how they survived through the excellent care of the trauma team at Osceola Hospital and through their arduous journey of coming back. It also describes how their children traveled more than eight hundred miles to step in to deal with hospital personnel and make important decisions regarding their care and survival. While hospital staff could not believe, the first one to reach their bedside was their pastor Dan Hopkins from Virginia. Dottie and Skip were not at all surprised. They believe God orchestrated their survival and recovery through excellent hospital personnel, family and friends. They also believe that God spared the young mother and her three young children from any injuries that day.
