From Shawn:
I had gone home for the weekend to work on my final for a formal logic class. Dad was out camping with the scouts. I was at the house alone when David got there and told me what had happened. We talked for a minute, then I jumped in my car and headed to the Nephi hospital. My recollection matches with David’s, that he had scouts to drop off still and that he was going to find Mom and Julie. When I got to the hospital and started talking to Dad, he wanted a priesthood blessing. Dr. Besendorfer helped give the blessing. Things then got hectic for a time. I seem to remember that (I believe) Mom and Julie then arrived. I cannot remember the trip to Provo, or about the visits after that.
From Myrna:
That matches with Julie's thoughts. I really thought that I was at home in the kitchen when David arrived. I bow to the three of you who remember that Julie and I had gone shopping for food. Love, M
From Shawn:
Maybe you got back home before David found you. All that I remember was that you were not home when David stopped and told me, and that he said he still had scouts to drop off. I cannot remember if he said Dad wanted me at the Hospital, or if I felt that was where I should go, rather than help him drop off the scouts. I do seem to remember that he said he had already driven from the hospital, and would go and find you and Julie when he was done dropping off scouts. Oh, I do remember that Dad was concerned (after the blessing) about whether or not the troop had won, because they left before everything was done, and the district had changed the format to try to keep his troop from winning for the somethingth year in a row. I remember him also talking about running up the hill, the pain, laying by the van, about the pain getting worse, loading up the van and driving quickly back to Nephi (and deciding after that it probably wasn’t the best thing to have done)—all the same as David has explained. I also remember that they rushed in an older lady while he was talking (I do not remember who, but I seemed to remember that I knew her or knew of her and that she lived in the northeast corner of town), she had been in an automobile accident and the airbag had gone off, and she thought it had not worked because it collapsed, and they were trying to tell her that was how airbags were supposed to work, and she seemed to be somewhat in shock. I think she was brought in right before you and Julie arrived. I do not remember how you got to Provo, or if I made any calls, or if I took anyone to Provo. Did you drive up, or go in the ambulance. Did Julie or David go with me, or with you? I will have to do some thinking to see if I can trigger some more of my memories. The one about the accident victim just came back today.
Oh, can you tell that I am up early worrying about my job change?
From Myrna:
Julie and David drove up to Utah Valley in Julie's car. I went in the ambulance with Dad.
Are we all getting a clearer picture? I am. Thank you all. Love, M
