We are all doing MUCH better! Andi and I are finally off the pain meds and I'm almost back to full range of motion. Andi has been off and running since last Monday, but her pediatrician (he is absolutely WONDERFUL!!!) wants to do more X-rays to make sure she is healing perfect and that her lungs are fully inflated again. So... even though we have had our fair share of hospitals over the past 8 days, we will go to Jordan Valley Hospital this afternoon or tomorrow morning to get the last bunch (keep your fingers crossed) of X-rays.
I have been asked if I'll ever get on a 4-wheeler again and I really don't think I will. My sister, Paige, and I were in a pretty bad 4-wheeler accident when I was in high school (we drove/fell down a 30-40 foot drop off to the road below) and I have never felt 100% safe since then, but I know how to ride them and so I've forced myself to do it for the past 12+ years.
Call me crazy, but I do still want to learn to ride a motorcycle and hope to get my own someday. I think after watching Brock, Bridger and Brett ride theirs I have seen that they have SO MUCH more control and can manuver and ride so much easier. Now don't get me wrong... I'm not going to be out there racing or doing obstacle courses, but I'd much rather ride a motorcycle when we go on camping trips or to the cabin then a 4-wheeler. What happened to Andi and I wouldn't have come CLOSE to happening had we been on a motorcycle!
Again, I want to thank both of our families and all of our friends for the help, prayers, support, dinners, and care you have given me and my little family over the past week. It has been very appreciated and we love you all!

We are so glad you guys are starting to feel back to normal and it sure hasn't slowed Andi down... I love you guys!!!!! I am so glad it wasn't any worse, what in the world would I do?.... Love you XOXOX
I'm glad things are all healing. I was so worried when I read you were hurt.
I really think (my opinion only) you should get back on the 4 wheeler. Show your kids that you aren't afraid and that you just have to be super careful. I know you are careful. In my life too many things scare me. So I have to face them head on. Kids see everything and they learn from us. Too much. I say that and 4 wheelers really scare me. Just be careful. But live.
Austin and Faith love you guys. I'm glad they found your kids to play with.
Andrea, just wishing you well after your scary 4-wheeler experience. I didn't read about it until this morning so sorry for the long delay. Glad you're both all right! Suzy lloyd
Andrea, I am so excited to find out you have a blog. This will be such a great way to keep in touch. I am so sorry about your and Andi's accident. I am so glad you guys are going to be ok. Your kids are beyond adorable. Andi reminds me of you. I will talk to you soon!
So glad you are feeling better! I am sure Dr. Dallin is taking every precaution possible! He is great...Love you guys.
I love how Andi now uses her "accident" whenever she does not want to do something. I am so grateful you two were not hurt worse than you were----that was such a miracle! It seems you have angels assigned to you full time! (I think we all do! Huh)
