Thanks to all my students, co-workers, family and friends for helping me through my recent battle.

For those who do not know, I was in a car accident on May 3rd.  My passengers walked away from the accident only suffering a few bumps and bruises. (thankfully).  I wasn't so lucky, I had to be cut out of my vehicle and taken to Munson Hospital where I stayed until Sunday evening.

I broke the left transverse processes off my L1 and L2 vertebrae.

 

I'm healing slowly, getting lots of rest and feeling very thankful for all the support I have received.

 

Mr. Kushion has agreed to teach in my place so I know students are in good hands. 

 

If you have any questions please feel free to email or blog me:  tthom@mcbain.org

 

Thanks,

Mrs. Thom
