Baby Bear was in a car accident today. She is fine, not a scratch on her. She slept through the whole thing. Baby Bear was out for an afternoon drive w/ her God Father, he was trying to get her to fall asleep. She fell asleep and he was on his way back. He was about 4 to 6 streets away from our house and his house. (we live 2 streets away from each other, walking distance) He stopped at a stop sign and when he started to go through another car came through the intersection. The other car was a 78 year old woman. No one was injured but my car is very messed up.
Uncle K, said that when the EMT checked Baby Bear out she slept through it all. The EMT lifted her arms, listened to her heart and even opened up her eyes. She just slept. She did not wake until I took her out of her car seat when we needed to move her from one car to the other. The policeman even said that he was surprised at how calm she was.
We went afterward to get a new car seat. We will be taking the other one to the police station so they can dispose of it. If you did not know this, no matter how miner the accident you should NEVER keep a car seat. If you think about how it feels to have your seat belt jerked against you that is how the plastic is jerked. Yes that plastic is there to keep your child safe. But it will also begin to break down. Just take a piece of plastic and bend it, see how the plastic will start to change color where the weakness is. That is how the car seat is to. You can't just put the car seat to the curb either. You need to have it disposed of correctly. The police station can help you w/ that. (Also if you are not aware, your car seat has an expiration date on it to, again the plastic will begin to break down after a certain amount of years.)
OK it has been a long day here. Here are some pics of the care. God is so Good to protect his children, both Baby Bear and Uncle K.
I am so glad that Baby Bear and Uncle K are both safe!!! Your poor car! Can you still drive it?? What are you going to do till it is fixed?? I will definately be praying!
