My Amazing Ward and Husband!

Back on August 14th, a young man in our ward, Nick, was in a bad 4-wheeler accident. For that story go here. Nick happens to live just around the block from us and I'm really good friends with his sisters and I know Nick pretty well too. Anyway, it was a very sobering shock when I heard about it. He ended up breaking his back and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Well, our ward knew that they needed a lot of help to get their house handi-cappable for when Nick was able to come home. So off to work they went. They had a new porch engineered and a lot of supplies donated by Home Depot(Nick's dad works there) and by many other individuals. On top of that, they had to turn his sister Alison's bedroom and his dad's office into a bedroom and a bathroom for Nick so that it was on the main floor. There was a lot of work to be done, but as they say, many hands make for light work. As soon as my husband was asked, he was right there with his whole job trailer, sort of put in charge of the porch.
It was amazing how much they accomplished in a day!




I wish I had more pictures of the finished product, but I don't. I wish I had taken pics inside of the bedroom and bathroom before and after, but I didn't. Just take my word for it that it turned out amazing! Gary was there so many nights after work helping out with everything that he could. He really wanted to make sure it was all done before Nick came home.
Only 7 weeks after his accident, Nick was able to come home. What an amazing and emotional moment that was! We are all SO glad that he is doing well and able to recuperate at home surrounded by his family and friends.
