Motorbike Accident

Today started really well with taking Quinn to the Zoo for a girls birthday party and he was the only boy and then Corbin, hubby and I went to the Hamilton Gardens to take photos of the rose show on there it was fantastic with the new camera and Corbin was having soooooo much fun with our old camera and he took some really good photos.

But at lunch time we got a phone call from hubby's mother saying that the police have just been to see her and my brother in law has been in a motorbike accident.

So we went and got hubby's mum as she was in no state to drive and when we got there I got a bit teary eyed as it brought back memories of my Dad and of him being in the HDU and then dying... so I was a little emotional. My brother in law has broken his ankle and they think he has lost one of his kidneys and his liver is damaged as well. Plus he has scraped one side of his back a couple of layers of skin. My husband and his mother aren't emotional sort of people and they were quite composed... I don't quite get it sometimes but when hubby and I were in the HDU with him he stroked his brothers head and then that set me off again... it was a really emotional thing and I knew then that he was worried about his brother.

So we came home around 4pm and had dinner and then went back for a little while and now have left him to have a rest and recoup. I hope everything goes well. He is the only brother in law I have and I wouldn't want to lose him for nothing in this world.

Eating has been ok today. Had so much fun with my camera and here are some photos.
