Friday night scare

It was Spencer's night to pick dinner choice. Downtown Aquarium wins! A favorite for all of us. Todd asked us to meet him there (his work is close to there) We got stuck in traffic, he called and said he would check in the reservation and we will get there as soon as we can. Boys & I got there and didn't see his car. We checked in at front and he had not gotten there. I grabbed my phone to text and say, 'we beat you' but it rang before I could. He said causally I will be a bit, got in a wreck. I thought a minor bump up, but as we sat down and I kept hearing more... Waiting on cops, airbag came out, mini won't start. The more concerned I got. He said for us to stay there. So I ordered for boys and waiting to hear more. He text to say it will be a while longer to eat. Right when our food he text to say on the way. What a relief to see him come in. I had ordered for him, he are but said he was sore. He hit a car with 3 kids in it (I know that bothered him). His arms were all burnt and scratch from airbag and he said his chest was sore. He did not have his seat belt on and made a comment he couldn't breath but said it was from all the airbag powder... I sure hope that is all it is!! When we got home, I saw his chest. You can see perfect imprint of steering wheel (stitching and all) on his upper chest. He has swelling & a scab on the lower rib area. He says he is ok, but still concerns me. He got up & went to work this AM at 5:30, saying he is ok. Now is not when he needs to put on tough face. Thanking God for his (and others involved) safety!! Scary how it could have turned out!!
