Just returned here after a few days away.  Wow.  I'm floored.  The show of support from this community is awesome.  I don't even know what to say.

I do have good news all around to report.  The baby is doing fine and under control.  Momma is beat up & sore but all in all ok.  She didn't break any bones, but did smack her head on the driver's side window, plus other bumps, bruises & cuts.  That's just fine with both of us.  She (they) get to come home tomorrow or the day after.  Home at last.

The reasons they faired well was because one, although she rolled the van twice, it was more of a double barrel roll while sliding forward & not one of those side over side type of rolls.  Two is that she always wears her seatbelt.  Three is that we disabled her air bag when she started to show.  At the time, I didn't feel right doing that, but now I'm glad I did.  If it had deployed, it would have nailed the baby and probably would've had a different outcome.

So again, I want to thank each & every one of you for your support.  When I show her this thread, she will be blown away (and probably embarrassed :) ).  You guys really made my day reading this.  Thank you all so much.  I'm truly touched that my family & myself have such a great group of virtual friends.  You guys are the best!

I've been trained to adapt & overcome, no matter what the odds or circumstances, but I'll tell you this brothers, I have never felt so damn helpless in my life.  I hope to God that this will just be a bad memory.  She is now off work until after the baby is born & has to take it real easy and has to go in for checkups twice a week til the delivery.  I just can't wait to get em home & safe.  Thank you all very very much for your awesome support once again. :salute
