I mentioned my BIL a while back. He was in a car accident - rearended by a drunk going about 40mph while sitting at a stop sign going in on 3rd shift. All of this was made worse since he had just had back surgery about 1 month prior. He was just beginning to feel better when this accident happened. Anyway, his insurance is trying to say his back injury is a prior injury, not caused by the accident. The other driver (residing in jail as we speak) had no insurance. He's being drug in and out of court and he's in terrible pain and afraid to not go to work because he had to take so much time off for the surgery.
This last weekend all the stress finally got to his wife and she miscarried! We are all so sad. They had been trying to concieve for a year before this. This would've been dh's and my first neice or nephew. The whole family was so excited. I'm still trying to figure out how to tell my kids this news. I know this kind of thing happens all the time but it's kind of hard to take given the circumstances. We're all praying their luck will change soon.

Thanks for all the support, guys. It's just a depressing situation. This spell of bad luck has been too much. Did I mention bil had to put his beloved dog of 14 years to sleep a couple of weeks ago too? MIL is all upset. She looked like she'd been crying when she told me. She, herself, suffered a couple of miscarriages before she had dh and bil, and she's such a big softy, things like this are hard on her too. Bil is in his early 40's and sil is mid-thirtys and they are desperatly wanting children asap. To have this happen after trying for a year... I can't imagine. And sil was planning to have a Mother's Day dinner at her house! We were so looking forward to having a new baby at the holidays! And they've told EVERYBODY they were pregnant. I can't imagine having to then tell everybody I'd miscarried.
I'm sorry if I'm depressing you all. I have to go down to the DYK's and post some happiness to off-set this post!
Erin
