Yesterday my niece-in-law had just dropped off my great-niece at school and was driving home (Atlanta, GA) when she passed out, crossed 3 lanes of traffic & hit a concrete retaining wall head-on. She knew something was wrong and had her foot on the brake before passing out, so she didn't hit the wall full-speed. She is also due anytime to give birth to my great-nephew. Guardian angels were certainly working overtime in Atlanta, Georgia, yesterday!!! The air bag helped too. She was hospitalized for observation overnight, then this afternoon baby Grant Parker was born safe and sound - weighed in at 9# 10oz. Mom and baby are doing well. My nephew said that baby Grant asked for a steak dinner right after he was born, ha, ha. The car didn't do so well and will be in the shop a few days. We are thanking God that my niece-in-law somehow got through 3 lanes of traffic without being hit and wasn't injured. They aren't sure why she passed out but she seems to be fine now. Sharon R.

Given that she was near birth date, one possibility among many that could fit is septicemia. Two of my daughters suffered from that just prior to giving birth. It can have terrible results. Anyway it is great hearing she is OK, and the kid ordered a rare stake. Sounds like everything is copercetic. donkelly ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharon Becker <srbecker@iowatelecom.net> To: iowa@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 8 Mar 2009 05:05:01 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [IOWA] Guardian Angels Yesterday my niece-in-law had just dropped off my great-niece at school and was driving home (Atlanta, GA) when she passed out, crossed 3 lanes of traffic & hit a concrete retaining wall head-on.
