Thankful for family this Christmas

We had quite the scare today. Ryan's stepfather and sister, Nancy, were in a car accident. Nancy, luckily, only had a few scratches. Dad Gallagher, however, is pretty banged up. He fractured his neck, broke his ankle, had a gash in the back of his head, and lost a bit of his ear. Luckily, there is no serious damage that we know of. They are monitoring him for internal injuries and he is going to have surgery on his ankle, but he was conscious and mobile (and joking around!) when we saw him. Considering how bad the accident was, we are lucky that he is doing okay and his recovery should not be terrible.

Ryan and I are so thankful to have such a wonderful and loving family. The lack of sleep we will get tonight is a small price to pay to know that Dad Gallagher and Nancy are okay (and getting to see the family is always a bonus!). We received our Christmas miracle today and for that we are so grateful.
