Kauri's update

First, we want to thank everyone for your prayers and your thoughts. They are felt and very appreciated. Kauri is going to spend her second night at Primary Children's. She is pretty sore and hurting-which is understandable. They found a few bruises and scratches, mainly on her back. She has a broken wrist and a compression fracture in her lower back. We are waiting to hear what internal injuries she has sustained. Kauri has not been very concerned about any of her injuries but is constantly asking about her friends and how they are doing. She is especially concerned about Lars, his family, and the Hanson family. She has been beside herself trying to comprehend the loss of one of her best friends. We hope that Kauri's example of strength and courage shows her love and support for all who have been affected by this tragic event. Our hearts and prayers go out to all the kids and their families. Know that Kauri and her family love you!

In her room.

It was so hard on all of us to see her just laying there. 

They couldn't get Annika to leave the hospital.   We just kept her there, and the nurses said they would pretend they didn't know she was there.  Mom wasn't about to leave, so we slept on a tiny couch bed. 

 

The morning after.

Waiting, and worrying.

Kauri is so sick.  She throws up a lot.

Quinn could get Kauri to eat a little...

But it didn't last long, before it all came back up.

Big Brother by her side...

For those who don't know Kauri was in a tragic car accident, Saturday, the 30th of July.  The kids had just ended a wonderful 3 day Youth Conference, and were planning to have a pool party at the home of one of our neighbors.  After a quick trip to Harmons, they ended up less than 2 miles away, on a dirt road, in a car accident.  Kauri was one of the two that was life flighted.  Her friend Lars, was life flighted to McKay Dee in Ogden, and Kauri was life flighted to Primary Children's hospital.  One of her best friends in the world, was taken back to live with Heavenly Father.  Kauri had a wonderful opportunity to have him tell her "Good Bye" after he was gone from this earth.  That is the very first thing she told her mom when she saw her.  Little blessings, amid such heart ache.

Kauri getting great medical help.
