Fender Bender

Well, there was a little bit of drama in my life today while Mommy was out in Menifee scrapbooking with my Aunties for Mommy's Day weekend and Daddy playing in a softball tournament. Grandma & Grandpa Arakaki took me to my tumbling class today and they took Daddy's car because I needed my car seat. After class Grandpa had a little fender bender backing out. For some reason the car was not reversing so Grandpa got out of the car to look for the release on the parking brake and accidentally released it but the car was not in Park. So poor Grandpa was knocked down really hard by the car door and the door hitting a parked car on the side and rear as it was reversing back with no one driving it. I was safely strapped in my carseat and Grandma was okay too. The ambulance had to come get us since Grandpa was bleeding a lot because his ear got cut really bad and he was really banged up and couldn't get up.
Daddy rushed over to the scene while we were already taken to Hoag in the ambulance. Daddy called Mommy and she rushed all the way to the hospital from Menifee. Grandpa got released the same day and all tests came back fine so it'll just take some time for him to heal the bumps and bruises.


Here is the rear of our truck. Doesn't look so good but it's all fixable!


Same with the door, will just need to be replaced since it won't close.
Here I am with my HB fire puppy that the ambulance gave me since I screamed and was not a very happy girl at all in the ambulance car seat. The doc checked my blood pressure and everything else just to make sure I really was okay and I am. I hope you get better soon Grandpa! Thanks for taking me to tumbling and so sorry for our accident. That's what it is just an accident and we're all very lucky that everything's going to be okay.
