Trip to see Amanda and Corey...

So on Tuesday morning I got a text from my friend Amanda Skinner Weston...it was a picture of her husband Corey in the Hospital in Ogden. Monday he was on a horse ride with his dad and his horse tripped and fell on top of him. He has brain damage to the middle of his brain...which to the extent of my knowlege is one of the worst kinds. Ross and I met in Brigham City after he got off work and went down to see Amanda and take her a care package I put together with the help of my sister. It really hit home to Angie and my family. We know what they are going thru and it just kills me that I cant do more to help her. Amanda has been down there since Monday, yesterday was the first time she got to see Chet and Payson (Her two boys). You could just see how happy she was when they got there!! Her mood totally changed....they really seemed to lift everyones spirits. They are so full of life and look and act just like Corey. We were all sitting around talking and Ross turned to me and said, they are so Corey...they look like him and so act like him. Amanda's family was there and I got to meet a few of Corey's family. They are all really great people and it was good to see them all there supporting Amanda and praying for Corey. Amanda took Ross and I back in to Corey's room to see him, it really hit home for me and brought back all of the emotions and feelings of Jeremy. I really had a hard time with it at first and then I started to tell Amanda what I was thinking and how things were and helping her helped me get over my emotions. Having Ross there really helped to...he is such a great friend and I dont know what I would have done without him. Corey's pressure was up to 98 when we went in there...good pressure is 10...but the nurse had just given him a bath and changed his sheets. That always tends to cause some pressure increases. Jeremy hated it when we moved him. But they did try and take him off sedation just to see his reactions and after a bit he popped up out of bed and started coughing because of the tubes in his throat...he also squeezed the nurses hand the same day. After our goodbyes with Amanda and her family Ross and I went out to dinner at Jeremiahs on 12th Street in Ogden...Ross recommened it because his family loves it...but he has never been there. We had such a great time, we were "fighting" and the waiter came up to take our order and he looked at us and was like ummm I think I'll give you a minute...as soon as he walked away me and Ross busted out laughing. We had a great road trip to and from Ogden, we had a heart to heart. Ross is such a good friend I cant wait to move to Logan so I can hang out with him more often. This trip really made me open my eyes again to how bad things really can be. I had almost forgetten what it felt like to have nearly everything fall apart so fast. I just hope and pray that Amanda stays strong and Corey makes a full recovery! And for all of you that know Amanda and Corey please pray for Corey and a speedy recovery!! And if you can let Amanda know that your thinking of her!! Anyways have a great day!! :)
