update on bus wreck

I was just going to edit my previous post, but I decided instead to write more in a new post.

Yesterday a fourth Student passed away. Her family was told shortly after noon. I was at work and was there when they were told the horrible news.

The first day I was so busy running around taking care of our work I didn't have time to stop and think. I heard the tears and screams of the families that day and but I was still in shock. It wasn't until yesterday as I heard a Mother crying she no longer had her baby that it I began to lose it. However we still had people to care for and they came first.

My co-worker and one of the hospital staff went into high gear helping keep this poor mother concious and I just made sure our people were okay. Another one of our staff is a part time minister and was able to be there for her and the family as well. He himself had a family member on the school bus. Fortunately, his relative only had minor injuries.

There are still many students still in the hospital and the bus driver is still in critical condition with severe back injuries.

Hug your children and other loved ones close. Always remember how special they are to you.

I hadn't seen that you were posting on this. I read about this crash in the paper and then I saw it on the news. I can't believe this actually happened. It's really awful.

I hope they get the details straightened out soon. I'm sure it's stressful to be there to witness the pain of those families.
