Just an FYI the word "minor" on the warren county incident page was to describe the age of the person/s involved. Not the level of the accident

That was my husband. He had a seizure and hit those cars during it. He is now in the hospital after a CAT scan they found he has an aneurysm in his brain. Thank goodness no one was hurt and this was God's way of letting him know that medical attention was needed. If not for this seizure and accident I may not be writing that he will be ok

Keep them coming. He will have an angiogram tomorrow to hopefully repair the aneurysm. Pray for the doctors hands to be delicate and precise. And it will be corrected with only this procedure.
There are some awesome people in our community. Our police who I can't thank enough, our EMT who responded quickly and were able to stabilize and transfer safely to our hospital, who were wonderful with him. The nurses were thorough and the Drs explained everything so we understood. A community member, as well as one of my girls scouts dad who happens to work for the school system was at the football game, and able to call 911 and report calmly to me. And lastly all of you! For sending prayers and support for a fellow community member who most, if not all, don't even know. How awesome is that?!?!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Cherie,

Wishing you and your husband all the best!

FYI - My cousin went through the exact same thing (except he was in the shower when he had his seizure) and the doctors told his wife if it wasn't for the seizure, he most likely wouldn't be alive today! Fast forward 1 year, he is fine, healthy, and has been medically cleared to go live his life like he did before!

Stay positive!

Cherie,

I'm VERY glad they were able to get to your husband quickly. I have cousins, two of whom were fortunate that they were gotten to quickly and sadly one who was not. The one they didn't get to quickly enough was in coma and kept on life support until they finally made the decision to let her go and be at peace. With an aneurysm it is SO very important to get assistance to the victim as quickly as possible.

I'm glad that nobody else was hurt, but sad that you and your husband have to go through this, especially since one of my cousins had to go through major procedures to take care of his. Thankfully he's doing well these days, as I'm sure your husband will be too. My very best wishes to you both and I hope he recovers very quickly!

Re: Accident at high school? Wishes for

The first procedure was not a susscessful as we would have liked it to be. The angiogram showed the aneurysm is bigger then the Drs thought. Hubby is scheduled for a craniotomy tomorrow at 6:30 am. All prayers and positive mojo is needed more now then ever. Again you guys rock! Hackettstown truly is a great place to be raising my family.

Cherie, I'm sorry the news was not what you hoped for. Your husband has gotten this far for a reason. The docs will take good care. Keep the faith! Your family and the medical staff have my prayers.

Update.... The surgery was a success and done at a time which was very critical. Had it not been done the dr said it was very thin and may have burst soon.

Cheri--i was there that night of his accident. I live across from his work place. He was in good hands right from the beginning. So many people ran to help him. It could have been so much worse then it was. He damaged cars but hurt nobody else. It happened at a busy time of the day and someone was watching over him as his van came to a stop without hitting any people who were all over the road at that time. I hope he has a speedy recovery...and the work "neighbors" are thinking of him.

CGHS84 thank you for that post it made me feel so much better that he was not suffering at all once he came to a stop. He still has a long road to complete recovery but every day is a step closer. Will hopefully be transferred out of the hospital this week and into rehab to start PT and OT.

I wanted to update all who have sent prayers and well wishes. Hubby is home, unfortunately still has a long road to travel before what we hope is full recovery. Being that it's thanksgiving day, I am thankful he is improving and is still with us. It could have been much worse. However, we are running into some road blocks, that I hope are temporary.
My sister in law has set up a gofundme account to help. I know times are tight for most people this time of year, but if you can copy the link and share to your social media pages I would be thankful for that as well.
Again this town we call home has some of the most caring people I know and that I am thankful for as well. Hope you all enjoy thanksgiving with your family and friends.

Here is the link to my hubbys road to recovery gofundme page.

Re: Accident at high school? Wishes for

Wow! I can't believe it's been almost 3 months since the accident. And almost 2 months since I have updated on Hackettstown life. Although Carl is making progress it is slower than the therapist had anticipated. With both of us being out of work still, and only having income from temporary disability at this time it is making things harder than I had anticipated myself. Paying for cobra insurance for our family is now going to be another headache we need to deal with. But this too shall pass and we are on the road to recovery and there is progress although small every day. We continue to ask for healing prayers, strength, good mojo or positive vibes whatever you feel comfortable giving us. I truly believe in the power of prayer and hope to continue to feel the love we have received from our great community.

Update of progress and recovery. Carl has had much more recall the last few weeks. We are just over 5 months post surgery. Some days better then others. He will get stuck on something and ask about it everyday several times. Kind of like a loop that keeps coming around. Then I notice he'll say, someone told me or I had a dream.... Most of it pretty accurate when re-telling me about it which means memories are starting to rebuild. We continue to go 3 times a week to work with Kessler's OT resources. Carl is now down to 4 medications 2x daily. His video EEG done at the beginning of February did show some small "electrical" activity but no seizures. We will meet with a neurologist that specializes in strokes, as the epilepsy Doctor feels he may have had a small stroke in the past before the accident. There was evidence on the CT scan done in ER as well as some damage from the surgery. We are in the process of getting in home cognitive rehabilitation which was recommended by the neuropsychologist he saw the beginning of February and also starting the process of filing for long term disability and looking at the future of me returning to work. All in all Carl continues to make progress slow and steady and takes everything as far as doing what he is asked to do in stride. Don't get me wrong he is still is stubborn, but some of that is a result of the aneurysm pressing on the part of the brain that controls motivation, initiative, and filter. As the aneurysm continues to shrink( due to no blood supply ) my hopes are that will change as well. Sometimes old habits are hard to break, like thinking he still smokes, he still asks daily where I have the cigarettes hiding or if I have any and when I tell him we quit he'll say "yea right "or "that can't be right its been 5 months, I know I've smoked".
Hopes are that as time goes on and healing continues he will "own" his deficit and strategies can be used to remember things. Thank you all for all your help, prayers, and support we are still humbled by our village.

Cherie I would start the paperwork for permanent disability now. You can do it online. Everyone gets turned down the first time. Then you have to appeal. It could take months. If you need any help tell me here and I will contact you.
