On Friday July 27th Gabrielle had her second MRi to take a closer look at her right frontal lobe and to see whether the dysplasia was localized enough to make her a surgical candidate.
The MRI went well and we left Duke about lunch time. As Gabrielle and I drove home around lunch time everything seemed ordinary and I wondered when we would receive the results from the surgeon. Suddenly without warning there was a tractor trailer truck heading straight at us on hwy 40. It began to strike the cars in front of me and fire erupted. I didn’t have enough time to stop and I accepted death at that moment and reflected on how I had been so worried about Gabrielle not knowing that today we would die together. I don’t recall steering or braking but our car veered to the right and we missed the fiery truck by 5 feet. Our car slowed down in a feild of grass beside the highway and the tractor trailer exploded seconds later. It is only by the grace of God that I am here to tell about it!
