On April 4, 1995, four of Sheryl Nixon's six children were involved in a horrible accident. Two of her sons were seriously injured, hospitalized for three weeks, and then placed in a rehabilitation facility for five months. While trying to be a mother to two disabled sons in the hospital and rehab she still needed to be a mother to two traumatized children at home. With the support of her husband, family, community, and friends, Sheryl began learning how to cope with extremely difficult circumstances through her faith in God, taking one day at a time, and sometimes only one minute at a time. When her sons returned home, still needing constant care, she had to deal with many of life's uncertainties. She felt blessed to have her sons survive the accident, but could she keep them both alive at home with no medical experience herself and only the help of some home medical personnel with limited training and experience? Would they survive? Let Sheryl take you with her as she experiences the trials and the triumphs, the set-backs and progress, the difficult yet rewarding journey of helping her family unite and return to some sort of normalcy.
