After 26 days at Providence medical center, today I am being discharged. 

Unfortunately I don't get to go home just yet but I do get to be one step closer to home in regards to my healing journey as well as my location. I'm being moved to Maple springs rehabilitation center in wasilla. 

I do not have any idea how long I will be there. Not sure whether I will be there temporarily until I have better mobility or if I will be there the entirety of my healing journey AKA until I can walk. 

But in the words of Mr Bilbo Baggins himself "I'm quite ready for another adventure". 😅

Thank you all for your continued prayers on this journey! 

Father has truly proven himself faithful time and time again even in this most terrible circumstance.

I made it to Maple springs in wasilla! 

Beautiful facility, huge rooms but uncomfortable bed. Which is unfortunate since that's where I spend most of my time...

Regardless thankful to be headed in the right direction.

Happy update! 

Given nothing changes between now and then I am to be discharged from hospital and sent to Maple springs in wasilla on friday! 

The main concern at this point is still my blood and making sure everything is headed in the right direction. We will be checking on all of that tomorrow.

Believe with me for a good report! 

This is good news in regards to my rehabilitation. I am a little nervous over the move but very pleased with being able to move one more step closer to being home with my family! 

I did get my nerve block out today and it is definitely noticeable so I would appreciate prayers for pain management going forward. 🙏🏻

Deuteronomy 32:39

See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

Edited to add***

Blood is at 7.7 today, on the up and up! Praise Yah I move our tomorrow!

It's been a hot minute since I have updated so here we go...

I'm going to start with the directed donation/blood donors. 

First of all I want to thank so many of you for reaching out to me and being willing to donate!

Unfortunately it has since come to light that directed donation is pretty much impossible for anything that would need to be accomplished in less than 30 days time. Yes 30 days is the typical turnover for directed donation of blood. Even in this case with a hospital doctor going directly to the blood bank of Alaska the quickest he can hope for is 10 to 14 days after donors give their blood. However the only way for these donors to give their blood is to have an exact date of transfusion presented with the paperwork and we don't have that because we don't know when the blood would be available to us. 

So unless you happen to know that you're having surgery in say 51 days from now and you have six donors lined up and you can get it all done ASAP and then wait 30 days Plus for the blood you're not getting directed donation. 

That said, it's okay. I trust the Father on this and I know that he will take care of the entire situation the same way he has thus far! He is faithful!  

My blood pressure has been a lot better in the last couple days, I had multiple good readings today of around 100 over the late 50s. My blood levels have risen to where they are no longer under the transfusion level. They are just above it! Yes there is still a lot of room for improvement but that kind of emergent feeling has subsided for the time being. 

I am doing a lot of natural things to try to help my body jump start and create more blood. The hospital has also been administering iron drips. And I have a little bit more energy today so all in all Yahuah is doing a good work! 

Continued prayers that my body would go into overdrive to produce blood and get me and Abraham back to a safe healthy level! 

Henry is doing really really well however I would greatly appreciate prayers for him as he is having a hard time not scratching his wound. Since the surgery he has had very little feeling in the back of his head. They don't know whether that will come back or not, only time will tell but he can feel the actual skin and the skin is itching. 

Unfortunately Henry is a picker so he has been doing a lot of scratching and that is very concerning because of the location and the precariousness of the wound. Please pray that he would have strength to resist the urge to scratch his wound and for protection over the wound that it would not get infected and that it would continue to heal the way it is supposed to heal without any incident. 

They were really pleased with his eyes and say there is improvement there so praise Yahuah! 

He still has so much healing that needs to take place, doesn't have a lot of energy and is still a bit unstable on his feet so all in all he's doing great but definitely needs your continued prayers. 

Kevin is recovering well in regards to his surgery. 

His arm wound is healing up quite nicely but he is still in a lot of pain consistently and is in need of prayer for his pain to diminish and him to be able to have full night's sleep as he's not sleeping well.

He is also dealing with costochondritis in his chest area on top of the broken rib which is causing him a lot of discomfort. For anybody who's ever experienced it, I have, you know so definite prayers appreciated there that this inflammation would come down and that he would be able to be in less pain on a daily basis. 

Noah and Ellis are both adjusting as well as can be expected under the circumstances. It's really difficult especially for Noah having everything be as topsy-turvy as it is. So I would appreciate prayers for both of them and especially for Noah that he would be able to direct his frustration in a way that is healtly. 

My mother and my sister are both still selflessly giving of their time and energy to be there to take care of Henry and Kevin although Kevin is much more capable and getting better every day. But also they're taking care of my home, they're doing my laundry and my dishes and they have been so incredible but I know they are exhausted so I would ask that you would all pray for my mother Angela and my sister Elizabeth in this situation as they are just as inundated in this as Kevin, myself and the boys are for the time being.

We want to thank everyone who has given time, prayers, purchased groceries, been so generous to donate blood (even though in the end that's not going to be a reality), who has brought supplements and snacks, who has donated to our givesendgo, who has called and checked up on us, who has been there just to talk or to listen, who has sent an encouraging word or a card. 

Every single one of you are appreciated beyond words, are prayed for in return that Father would bless you 30 60 and 100 fold in return! 

All Praise and Glory and Honor to Yahuah our Father-

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” ❤️ — Ephesians 3:20

Look who I got to spend the afternoon with!!! 

(My mom and dad too!)

Words truly cannot express how much I miss my family. 😭

It's been 19 days since the accident. 

I miss my husband. 

I miss my boys. 

I miss "normal life". 

Please pray for me y'all because I woke up this morning sad and lonely. Missing my family so much. 

It's been decided I don't get to go home the way they got to go home, instead I need to go to an outpatient facility until I can walk. That's 3 months from now. 

I have to live three more months away from my family, away from my husband, away from my babies. 

I'm heartbroken. Though I know it's for the best, for my health and the health of Abraham.

Please pray comfort and strength for me, for them.

This is so hard.

Editing to add the reason up here so it's easy*****

Multiple reasons have been deciding factors in sending me to an outpatient facility, the hope is Maple springs in wasilla. Because of the extent of my injuries I cannot put weight on my right leg for another 4-6 weeks, the left leg will be 3 months. The pinky finger on my left hand is broken, that hand and wrist were also sprained therefore the amount of use I get out of that hand is very little. 

My tailbone, my pelvic bone (the worst offended) and my lower three lumbar in my spine are all broken therefore I cannot sit for extended periods of time. I have to be in specific positions, mostly lying down. 

This is also why I can't put pressure on my right leg despite it not being broken. And then my left leg of course with everything that has been done to it it will be heavily cast and wrapped for a long time yet. 

Then you add on the fact that I am pregnant and I am going to continue to become bigger and more uncomfortable as time goes on. I have to recover from this accident while also staying healthy for this baby. I won't be able to use crutches at all during this time period. 

At home we already have two incapacitated individuals who need 24-hour care, we already have hospital equipment and different things taking up the space in our home. Those two individuals already have appointments and PT and all the things that they have to keep up with and make along with my sister and parents who are taking care of my family have their own lives that have to be taken care of, appointments to be kept ect. 

Our bathroom is so small it doesn't even have a full size door on it, I have to have a lift to get onto the commode and I will likely need that for another 4-6 weeks until my hand can be out of cast and I can develop enough body strength to maneuver myself from bed too bedside commode etc.

They also want me doing a minimum of 3 hours of physical therapy a day because of the extent of my injuries. 

In home care just isn't an option. Unfortunately.

Out of surgery! 

Been out for a bit but able to update now. Still pretty exhausted and sore. But the nerve block is working, all but a small area of my ankle anyway. 

Surgery was successful in that everything went as it should have, he did not go over the allotted time frame and he does not think there will need to be a fourth surgery. Praise Yahuah!

The tube down the throat caused a lot of discomfort this time and it's a little difficult to talk currently as well as very very sore. 

My doctor said he expects healing of my leg to go really well from here on out. 

But he warns that my pelvic bone will likely be what causes me the most discomfort for the longest. Because the break of my pelvic bone was something he would normally do surgery on but couldn't due to Sweet Abraham it has to heal on its own along with my broken tailbone and the broken lumbers (three I think). 

So I would ask that you continue praying for healing on this surgery, that there are no lasting effects, no lasting arthritis, no infections or any of those types of things but also that you start praying for miraculous healing of areas that cannot be operated on. 

Once again I thank each for you for your prayers, your love and you are support! 

And thank you Father for every good gift!

My third and hopefully last surgery is scheduled for tomorrow! 

This will be the surgery on my ankle. It is going to be roughly 4 hours long and the Doctor said it will be the most painful to date. 

I am asking for prayers of peace, that Yah would guide the Doctors hands and allow all to go well, for baby to be safe and healthy and for pain management to be better this go round. 

No specific time set yet but I'm assuming earlier in the day. 

After this surgery real "healing" will be able to start and that healing is a 12 week process so I will be in a wheelchair for the next 3 months. 

There will be many more Dynamics as we go forward that I will be asking for prayers regarding but focal prayers today and tomorrow are the surgery.

Thank you in advance and thank you Yah for answer prayers! 🙌🏻

Kevin's surgery went well this morning, praise Yahuah! 

Prayers for pain management as it's going to be a pretty intense recovery for the first couple of days and this was more or less an outpatient surgery thus he is already home. 

Prayers not just for him but for everyone as this is going to be added care, stress, meds and so on especially over the weekend. 

And the bigger prayer request is for Kevin's neck. He has still not had any updates or appointments regarding his neck since being sent home from the hospital (what we all deem as very prematurely). 

He has an appointment on Monday where they will let him know whether or not he needs neck surgery. 

I am asking for prayers of agreement from every able-bodied believer that he would not need neck surgery!!! 

It has been such a long time already since the initial injury, healing has already started and it would be that much more painful and that much more of a process to go in and do surgery at such a late date. The pain would be absolutely intense and Kevin does not handle pain as well as some of us do, the stress of that on everyone involved would be astronomical!

We really need a miracle to take place and for him to get the best possible news on Monday and not need any type of additional surgery past what was done today.

As always we covet and appreciate every single prayer from every single believer! 

 Lamentations 3:19-24

Remember my affliction and my wanderings,

The wormwood and the gall!

My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. o“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,

“therefore I will hope in him.”

His new hardware. ⬇️

Update on Kevin Tetlow!

Kevin has just been told that he does indeed need surgery on his upper right arm. Although the break was relatively clean there is too big of a gap between the bones therefore the doctor wants to pull the bones together secure them with a plate and a few screws. 

Surgery is (miraculously, due to a cancellation and schedule) set for tomorrow morning at 6:30 a.m. he will be having surgery out in the valley at the regional hospital. It is supposed to be a relatively quick surgery considering but we are asking for all the prayers of protection and guidance for the doctors etc as well as quick healing for Kevin after the surgery. 

A week and a half later and he has still not heard back regarding his neck and if that's going to need surgery, he doesn't have an appointment until next Monday to find out about the neck so prayers that that injury can heal without surgery! 

After the surgery Kevin will be in a brace for 8 weeks. Which pushes the amount of time out that he will be in pain and that he will not be able to work. And again depending on what happens with the neck that could be yet another extension to those things. So continued prayers and continued support are very much appreciated! 

And my boy (Henry) is discharged! 

This is a very exciting event especially for him but it's also a bit nerve-racking with everything that has gone on and then with everything that he's going to have to keep up with at home, all the restrictions etc. 

He still needs 24-hour care. 

Aunty has been absolutely beautiful and amazing and wonderful in this entire situation and she will be right there by his side throughout this transition for which I am incredibly grateful! 

Please pray that as all of these different changes continue to commence everyone is able to handle the pressures of the limitations and the pains and confined spaces etc. That Brothers will understand why Henry can't do the things that he normally does and so forth. Just a lot of prayers for Henry and Kevin and the boys as well as Elizabeth and my mom as they are going to be at home trudging through these deep Waters. 

I'm also really going to miss seeing my sister everyday and seeing Henry roughly every other day. But I'm a big girl and I can handle being alone. After all I'm not really alone, I never would have thought that being in hospital would mean I'm literally busiest I've ever been in my entire life. Between doctors and nurses and occupational therapy and physical therapy and techs and interns and OB's never mind phone calls and text messages and emails etc. 😅

Surgery update! 

It's been somewhat of a crazy day so this is a bit belated but surgery went well, praise Yahuah! 

They were able to do the knee and the tibia as planned! 

Having to do multiple surgeries instead of one has its pros and cons but the pros are that now these will get to start healing while we wait for the swelling and the ankle to go down the rest of the way. And that means the ankle surgery will be a much shorter duration which is also a big plus under any circumstances but especially when the individual in question having to lay on that hard surgical bed has a broken tailbone, broken pelvic bone and, bonus I found out today that I actually have a couple of fractures in lumbar's spine! I somehow missed that in all of the excitement over the past 9 days but that would explain the severe lower back pain that I have been experiencing along with all of the other pain. 😅

Irregardless Yah is as always a good good Father and I'm so grateful to have made it through another surgery! 

After said surgery I took a nice nap and then got fitted for a splint for my left pinky finger (does not sound that involved but it was an hour and a half process). This finger is broken however the break was so clean that opting out of surgery seemed like the wisest plan for everyone involved so she came in and made me this really neat customa splint which I get to where 24/7 now for a long while but I'm really thankful because now that means I can use the rest of my hand without worrying about damaging that finger both the break and the tendon that had a little fix up during my first surgery. 

And I also found out something else new today which I did not know. Since the accident I've had a goose egg on the top of my head and every day I feel it I think gosh this thing isn't going down, it doesn't hurt the way it used to but it's still gigantic well my sweet new nurse was going over the list of things that was wrong with me so that she could get familiar with my case, hence the "hey you also have a broken back", said it is a hematoma!

So there are all of my updates for the day. Continued prayers appreciated of course for all of the things because there's also things like me not being able to go to the bathroom, number one or number two so the catheter is back in but I would absolutely appreciate prayers that my bowels would start working again because I've had one small bowel movement since the accident 9 days ago and it is not a fun place to be! I really need to be able to defecate so that I can eat properly to keep this baby full of the right nutrition never mind myself! 

*Editing to add I have been doing everything to try to make my bowels move. Milk of magnesia, magnesium citrate, they're giving me a laxative pill here in the hospital, I'm taking smooth move as well as a secondary marshmallow root tea that is supposed to be a laxative. They have been administering suppositories and enemas. Y'all we have literally been doing everything! And I catered my diet down to fruits vegetables and protein, tons and tons of hydration!*

And again Praise Yahuah that baby Abraham is well, they checked him right after surgery and his heart rate was strong and stable! 🙌🏻

Enough about me, prayers for Henry as he is starting to get to that point where he's kind of done with the situation and there's a little resistance for certain things. Continued prayers for his appetite and his ability to eat properly because if his food consumption slows at all he will likely have to get the feeding tube which of course we simply do not want to have to happen. Some other small things still going on with him, his eyes still need prayer as he is still having double vision and that one eye muscles is still quite loose. Time will very likely heal these eye issues but continued prayers for His eyes, neck and lungs. 

Kevin is also still in need of a lot of prayer as he is still in a lot of pain and is unable to do nearly anything on his own! 

His eye is also still bothering him though the black spot has dissipated vision has diminished in that eye. Likewise the eye doctor said if it's what he thinks it is it is temporary and it will eventually right itself but Kevin does have an appointment with a specialist in a few weeks to have that I looked at and hopefully find out what is going on. Again irregardless prayers for him are much appreciated! Also his tongue is still in a lot of pain, few of you were privy to that but I think we've determined that he bit his tongue really badly and the accident and then has since been kind of grinding his teeth making it worse so there's maybe open muscle or something that is going on and it's very painful. 

And lastly but certainly not least I would appreciate if everyone would lift up my sister Elizabeth as well as my mother Angela and my father Aaron as they may not be going through the physical effects of this accident but they are walking side by side us, night and day 24 hours a day doing everything that we cannot do! My sister came as soon as she got the phone call and she has not left the hospital one time since then, she has been by Henry's side every single step of the way being his surrogate mother in this situation and I cannot express how much I appreciate the fact that she has been there for my baby when I cannot be! 

Likewise my mother has been staying at my house with Kevin and Noah and Ellis 24/7 cooking and cleaning and being nurse made to Kevin, getting very little rest yet she as my sister are doing this out of the graciousness of their own hearts, there's no compensation and there's no breaks and no one even asked them to do it they're just doing it because they love us and if any one has ever showed the true love of Messiah it is them and my daddy in this situation. As my father has been having to go back and forth between his house and my house, he's been having to deal with all of his daily life and appointments for my siblings still at home, keep a wood stove burning 24/7 and take Kevin to all of his appointments and make sure that everything is taken care of now in two homes which is not an easy feat for a young man who is in shape and does not live in constant pain but my daddy is not a young man and he is not in shape and he does live in constant pain. The sacrifices that they are making for me and for my family will never ever be forgotten! I love you all so very much and I appreciate what you are doing for us in ways that I cannot express in words. ❤️❤️❤️

Unexpected update. 

I'm now on the schedule for surgery tomorrow morning!

It is a tentative scheduling and still may be canceled and rescheduled depending on a few things but if I am to have surgery tomorrow morning I would appreciate all the prayers! 

The surgery would be on my left knee and left ankle. Roughly 6 hours long if everything goes well.

They have to do quite a bit with the ankle, a lot of puzzle work and reconstruction and then the knee isn't as hard but there is a slight depression so there's going to be some extra components because of that. 

Baby is not to viability yet so they will not monitor him so extra prayers for him during the surgery that he is safe!

The orthopedic surgeon is named Dr Elliot, he did my emergency surgery last Monday but prayers for him and his team as well that father would guide their hands and give them wisdom. 

If I do have the surgery tomorrow versus in a week or two the good news is that's a week or two sooner that's I can start recovering. 

I will update if anything changes but all in all prayers appreciated!

Had a surgeon come in and check my foot/leg this morning and confirm that it will be a minimum of another week before they can do surgery, possibly 2 weeks yet. 

Today I am 21 weeks pregnant, after 22 weeks pregnant baby is "viable" and they will monitor baby throughout the procedure. 

It's going to be a long procedure regardless with the ankle being in so many pieces and they're being so much work that needs to be done between the ankle and the knee. With that I would feel more comfortable knowing that baby was being monitored so my prayer is that the surgery does not commence until after baby hits 22 weeks next sunday. 

Obviously the sooner I can get the surgery the sooner I can start healing from it but Abraham is my top priority right now. 

So continue prayers that the swelling would continue to go down at a nice even rate, that pain would be manageable in the process and that when the time comes surgery will be successful and baby will be well taken care of.

I'll start with Noah and Ellis. Noah was incredibly blessed to make it out of this accident with nothing but some scrapes and bruises. Ellis did have a concussion, pretty good goose egg on his forehead, mild side effects some vomiting etc but he is recovering well from that. 

They have both been home since Tuesday afternoon. 

They both seem to be handling the situation pretty well considering, but there's a lot of feelings that are unresolved right now and I would definitely appreciate prayers for their emotional and mental well-being during this situation. 

Kevin was discharged yesterday regardless of protests on our part as we did not think he was ready. However his first night home went pretty well. I'm so incredibly thankful that my mother is with him and the boys to help during this time. 

Kevin does have a broken neck, he has two clean brakes in his upper right arm and he has a broken rib on his left side. He is in a neck brace for the next 6+ weeks as well as an arm brace for the upper right arm for the next 6+ weeks. He is in a lot of pain so continue prayers for his pain management and healing. 

Henry is still in the hospital. He did have a successful neck surgery. The surgery was a very serious one. The surgeon came in and spoke to me prior to surgery and told me that 50% of all people who experience this type of injury die on scene, that many more are paralyzed from the neck down because of it and that even with the surgery Henry had a small possibility of being paralyzed from the neck down. 

But Praise The Most High Father for his protection and mercy and Grace that the surgery was a success and the doctor expects him to make a full recovery! They placed a titanium plate at the bases neck and two titanium rods down both sides of his neck as the neck itself did not just break but the tendons also severed and more or less his neck was just hanging on by a thread so this is what will keep his neck in place for the rest of his life, without healing from Yahuah, but there will be limited range of motion in the neck. He's not yet aware of most of these facts so this is going to be a long long journey for him. 

Praise Father that the MRI they did yesterday came back normal, all of his insides are functioning properly and nothing is broken. He has, what they described as, the worst seat belt injury they've seen in a child. He is in a lot of pain surrounding that injury as well. But that was a huge huge relief having that MRI come back normal! 

We're not yet sure how long he's going to be in hospital. He has not been able to hold down any food since the accident. I believe it's related to the pain medication. They are not too worried as of now with the IV in he's plenty hydrated and he's been able to keep down a bit of juice here and there but prayers that he would be able to eat in the near future as well. 

So continued prayers for my baby as he's going to need every single one of them! 

As for myself the upper extremity surgeon does not believe I'm going to need a second surgery on my left hand. There will be an X-Ray to confirm this one way or the other in the near future but there is hope there that I will not need further surgery on that hand. 

My pelvic bone is broken, it broke clean through both sides of the circle as it were and my tailbone is broken and multiple places. There's nothing to be done about the tailbone regardless, if I were not pregnant they would fix the pelvic bone but as it were these two things are going to have to resolve themselves with time so I would appreciate prayers that they would heal quickly and in a healthy manner so that I do not have to get further surgery after the birth of Abraham to rectify the pelvic bone. 

I am going to have to have more surgery on both my left knee and left ankle. The knee broke clean through with the impact so he said that break is about as good as it could be under the circumstances. My ankle however was shattered and it is about as bad as it can be under the circumstances. He said that the surgery / surgeries to come will be once the swelling is down, possibly as early as next Monday/Tuesday but it could be as long as 3 weeks from now, it all depends on the swelling and how soon it goes down. 

The ankle will take a lot of time and work, a very in-depth surgery of putting a lot of teeny tiny pieces back in place, lots of recovery time. 

Praise Yah my right side is more or less unscathed. 

I would appreciate prayers that my bowels would start working as they are not and it's been 4 days. Also that when the time comes I'm not an extreme pain with all of the broken bones that I'm going to be required to sit on in order to use the bathroom. I otherwise have a catheter which is wonderful I might add. Ha 

We have had so much support, so much love, so many people reach out, come visit, offer help and so on that it is overwhelming in the best possible way. Every single one of you are appreciated beyond words! 

But I have to thank my sister Elizabeth specifically as she has been here since this happened, never leaving the hospital staying with Henry 24/7 when Kevin and I are not able to be with him. She has been his surrogate mommy in this and a constant love and support for me and I'm so thankful for her! 

Into my parents and my niece, my brother for helping out. Y'all are so so loved! 

I'll be trying to do some more updates as things happen.

I believe there are some different venues of help being orchestrated in regards to meal trains and donations etc I'm not 100% sure on those things yet but if I find out for sure I can share if anybody is interested. 

All in all it's a good day to be alive! Yahuah is a good God and he is faithful and merciful and full of good gifts!

In all of this regardless of how terrible of a situation it is I've never felt his grace and his Mercy so fully as I have being in such a horrific accident yet having all of my precious family alive and "well"!
