The Falzons

This is a hard post to make....I couldn't even come up with a title for it, so I'm just going to go ahead and tell you our story.

A week ago, Sunday morning, February 8th, Jason and I were it a terrible car crash. We were run off the road at about 2 am on the way home from a show that Jason played drums at in Galveston. The car that swerved into our lane, causing us to run off the road and into a tree at 60 mph, didn't even stop. Thankfully Jack was with his Nana and Papa and was not in the car.

We were air lifted to Memorial Herman Hospital in Houston, and despite all of the efforts of the wonderful medical professionals we met that day, Ryan didn't make it. The artery and one of the ligaments to my uterus were severed, and I was also hit by something in the back during the crash that caused him head injuries. His injuries were too much for his little body to recover from, and he passed away before they were able to get me into surgery.

Also, my uterus was too damaged to be saved, so I had a partial hysterectomy. They left my ovaries but had to take my uterus and cervix in order to get the bleeding to stop and to save my life.

Jason had a lacerated colon and liver. Between the two of us we had three surgeries-Jason had one to repair his injuries and I had two.

We are thankful beyond words for all of the prayers we have received. It is our firm belief that the prayers are a large part of our survival and recovery.

Jason spent 6 days in the hospital and I was in for 7. We are home now with Jack. My parents are in town helping us with Jack as we continue our recovery.

Again, thank you so much for all of the prayers, and I'd like to ask all of you to continue to pray for us; both for our physical recovery and to help us as we grieve for the losses we suffered that day.
