Sean's "little" accident!


Okay most of you have heard about the "little" accident. I guess some people will do anything to avoid turning 40.....ever. We had a branch break in the big tree in our front yard, but it was hung up in the tree. There was a chance it could blow down into power lines so Sean decided to handle it...alone. I've had the flu all week so I'm watching from the house as he is up the ladder, chain saw attached to a rope, then pounding and making wedges. So he's using the chain saw and the branch (which is the large one in the picture) breaks free and pounds him on the base of his neck and drops him several feet bending the ladder. Luckily he dropped the chainsaw which when I got to him was still running. He is soooooo very lucky. Poor Lia wanted to call 911 and Sam thought he was real bad hurt. Scary! We got him in the house and so far no long lasting effects. He's a little sore, some cuts and scrapes but safe. We are so grateful that someone was looking out for him. So if you talk to him and he tells you it was no big deal....NOT TRUE! Love you hon and I am so grateful you are still around...especially today!

Truly, you were witness to a miracle... Things could've been so much worse. Glad to hear Sean is safe, but personally, I think you should have the neck checked.
