April 5th Update

We are stable & strong. Both Marlin and Artie are continuing to remain stable & responsive to commands. To maintain their comfort & ensure they are getting ample rest, they are being kept intubated & sedated at this time. 


They are not ready for visitors. We are communicating well wishes and they know how incredibly loved they are. 


We are praying for continued improvement today. We will continue to keep you all updated. 


Remember the small wins right now are the big wins, and we are having a lot of small wins! 


We love you all.

    Thank You for creating this blog to keep Family and Friends informed as to the progress Your Dad and Mom are making. We trust that each day they will improve, but we also know recovery will take time. While we see accidents and trials come upon us, we know that God is still in control, and He can deliver us from every trial that comes upon us. We believe Your Mom and Dad will be restored, and good will come out of this accident. Allison, Derek, and Dillion, if You would want to talk, know that we are here, as this sure is a trying time. We Love You All.

    We are not certain you received out last post. The Spotts Family is praying for your parents and keeping you, the doctors, and nurses also in our thoughts and prayers to help deliver to your parents the best care possible. We are here to help in anyway. Please let us know anything we can do. Thank you for the updates, remain strong and positive.

The Final Post Update

Image
Two months ago, we were all praying for a miracle to be able to share this post with you all today. God is so good & has provided refuge & restoration for our family - our gratitude is beyond words.   Week one, a family friend told us “the good thing about marathons is that marathons end.” Today we are blessed to say our marathon has ended.  While there is no doubt still a journey ahead, new beginnings & continued recovery - we have survived the thick of it by the grace of our loving God, the incredible medical professionals from day one to now that have cared tirelessly for our parents, the prayer & support of friends and family that truly goes beyond our comprehension. There will never be enough thank you’s we can say & we hope you all know from the bottom of our heart we are so grateful for each and every one of you.  Artie & Marlin are on their way! Both of them have their phones & we want to encourage you all to reach out, schedule v...

Artie & Marlin - First Update from the Family

  Hello Loved Ones:  This morning we were made aware that our parents were in an accident on Route 7 near Hill High Orchard. They were crossing Route 7 and hit by an oncoming driver that they did not see.    Our parents were transferred to separate hospitals.  Artie is in Reston Marlin is Winchester They are both in critical condition at this time. We are happy to report that thankfully both of them are responsive and know we are there. Derek and Faye are with Marlin in Winchester and Dylan and Drew are with Artie in Reston.  Alison and Dave are en route on flights from Texas arriving at 10pm this evening.  Marlin is responsive and knows Derek is there with him. Main concern now is mild bleeding in the spleen. They are waiting to see if the bleeding will stop on its own, if not they will need to remove in surgery. He and Artie both have fractures to their pelvic and ribs.   There is a long road ahead and we need all the prayers from friends and fa...

April 29th Update - Artie is Home & Visitor / Meal Information

Mom is home! Dad is set for pick up tomorrow morning! Praise God! As shared previously, we are going to have some new ways that you all can continue to support us.  Visitors:  Our parents are going to be so excited to start seeing their amazing friends and family! We are going to open up a visiting spot for 30 minutes a day starting next week to give us some time to adjust to everyone being home. If you want to come for a visit just sign up at the link below. Please know these visits are intentionally short with Artie in mind. Artie is progressing but please understand that she is still working her way back to her typical social butterfly behavior 🦋  Note: Phone calls can be a lot for Artie at this time - challenging to follow and keep up with quick responses. Reach out to Ali to schedule a short call if you’d like to chat!
