Caitlin's Car Accident

I've had quite a bit of time on my hands so I put together this short video to show that God does work miracles. In January of 2010 I was severely injured in a car accident. My injuries included a shattered pelvis, femur out of socket, broken ankle, facial fractures, broken jaw... just to name a few. I also had quite a bit of internal bleeding, but thankfully it was kept under control. According to my surgeon, the soft tissue that lined my pelvis was almost completely shredded. Several nerves were damaged, including my sciatic nerve, and I developed Peroneal Nerve Paralysis in my right leg (foot drop). Everyday has been a struggle, but I continue to remain thankful because I know what could have been, and that God spared my life for a reason. I now have something that not everyone will experience -- a new and greatly appreciative outlook on life.

Hi Caitlin :) My name is Jan, I have been blessed to meet your wonderful sister Ashleigh through my battle with Dysautonomia/ Pots.

@FootprintsIntheSand7 Hi Jan, Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate your kind words about my sister and I. She has been such a help to me and I don't know what I would do without her. We have both mastered the art of "suffering in silence." I am sorry to hear that you are battling Dysautonomia and Pots. My heart goes out to you. Again, thank you for your kind words. God bless!

Caitlin, I had to leave a comment. I broke my femur and ankle on August 31st. Its been 4 months and therapy etc. and I am trying to learn how to walk again after 2 surgeries. Your video has given me so much inspiration and hope that I will be okay in the near future. I understand what you went through and can't help but cry watching this. We are breathing still and are okay!!! I wish you and your family the best! Im keeping you in my prayers.

Hi

We just came across your video on youtube It was amazing. My sister Amberley was in an accident in Jan 2010 and ejected also. She broke her back and is paralyzed from the waist down. She had a world all around cowgirl title at the time and was told she wouldnt be able to ride again, but she started barrelracing again this summer I made a video about her too. So if you put in amberley snyders ride with Christ on youtube you will see it. The video shows her racing now, good luck 2 u both  ;)
