Help Miguel Quintero Get Back on His Bike

Buenos días, depues de 5 semanas en el hospital, mi esposo ya esta en casa desde el sabado, falta tiempo para su total recuperacion, el tiempo la verdad ya no importa, saber que eso sera posible es lo mas grandioso. Pasaron por mi mente tantos posibles escenarios, mi cabeza es demaciado creativa y al nadie darte ningun tipo de retroalimentacion, creanlo que ya estaba preparada para cualquier cosa. Si sentí doblarme algunas veces, pero nunca perdí la fe en Dios, además que tambien tengo la responsabilidad de sacar adelante a mis hijos, y no quería que ellos me vieran sufrir, porque alguien tenía que darle animos. Pero bendito Dios, ahora estamos en otra etapa, talvez mas dificil para el, porque se desespera porque no es 100% el, pero primero Dios, con su esfuerzo y el tiempo así será. Es un hombre fuerte, pero debe entender que no todo el tiempo debe ser así, el proveedor y demás. Todo esto como todo pasa para aprender, toda mi familia estamos haciendo evaluacion de nuestras vidas, de cosas para mejorar. Pero tambien para aceptar como somos cada uno y tampoco pedir que cambien, realmente han sido tiempos muy dificiles que a nadie se los deseo, pero gracias a la ayuda de mis hijos Melanie Quintero-Cárdenas encargandose de sus hermanos, dandome fortaleza, ir a enseñar con el corazon partido, haciendo comida, abrazandome cuando sentí flaquear son cosas que quedaran en mi alma por el resto de mi vida. Miguel Quintero visitando a su padre todos los días, dandole palabras de aliento, enseñandole a caminar de nuevo abrazado de el, no permitiendole que se sintiera menos, y muchas cosas mas. Y mis hijos pequenos, Miranda Quintero y Malcolm Quintero, sufriendo en silencio, dandole animos a papa, haciendole sentir lo importante que es para ellos, talvez han hablado con el lo que nunca en sus vidas. Todo esto un aprendizaje, no somo perfectos, hemos cometido errores, pero como nos queremos como familia no es una pantomima. Bendito Dios por todo y seguire de tu mano.

Agradesco a todos ustedes que rezaron por el y nuestra familia, les suplico lo sigan haciendo, nada es posible sin el, todos aquellos que cooperaron monetariamente en el fundraiser o en la carrera del día de ayer. Tantas personas que sin conocernos nos llevaron comida a nuestra casa, a todos sus amigos ciclistas de Titanes haciendo sentir que no estaba sola que podía contar con ellos sin conocerme antes, a todos nuestros amigos, pero muy en especialmente a nuestros compañeros de la escuela, que siempre estuvieron fisicamente y el el chat, dandome aliento y sintiendose feliz por cada momento de mejoría de el y escuchandome cuando me daba miedo, los quiero con todo mi corazon.

Good morning, after 5 weeks in the hospital, my husband has been home since Saturday, August 31. There is still time left for his full recovery. Time really doesn't matter anymore. Knowing that this will be possible is the greatest thing. So many possible scenarios went through my mind. My head is too creative and since no one gives you any kind of feedback, believe me, I was already prepared for anything. I did feel myself breaking down a few times, but I never lost faith in God. Besides, I also have the responsibility of raising my children and I didn't want them to see me suffer because someone had to encourage him. But thank God, now we are in another stage, perhaps more difficult for him, because he gets desperate because he is not 100% himself, but first God, with his effort and time, it will be that way. He is a strong man, but he must understand that it does not always have to be like this, the provider and so on. All this, like everything else, happens to learn. My whole family is evaluating our lives, things to improve. But also to accept how each one of us is and not ask for them to change. These have really been very difficult times that I would not wish on anyone, but thanks to the help of my children, Melanie Quintero-Cárdenas, taking care of her siblings, giving me strength, going to teach with a broken heart, making food, hugging me when I felt weak, these are things that will remain in my soul for the rest of my life. Miguel Quintero visiting his father every day, giving him words of encouragement, teaching him to walk again hugging him, not allowing him to feel less, and many other things. And my young children, Miranda Quintero and Malcolm Quintero, suffering in silence, giving encouragement to dad, making him feel how important he is to them, perhaps they have spoken to him more than they have ever done in their lives. All of this is a learning experience. We are not perfect, we have made mistakes, but how we love each other as a family is not a pantomime. Blessed be God for everything and I will continue to hold your hand. I thank all of you who prayed for him and our family, I beg you to continue doing so, nothing is possible without it, all those who cooperated monetarily in the fundraiser or in yesterday's race. So many people who without knowing us brought us food to our house, to all his cycling friends from Titanes making me feel that I was not alone, that I could count on them without knowing me before, to all our friends, but very especially to our classmates from school, who were always there physically and in the chat, giving me encouragement and feeling happy for each moment of his improvement and listening to me when I was scared, I love you with all my heart. Juliet, Veva, Beba, Hector, Ricardo, Sagid, Eric and Iris.

Hello, my name is Rosa Maria Cardenas Quintero and I am from Rio Rico, AZ. On July 27th my husband Miguel Quintero was involved in a terrible bicycle accident at the Whipple Observatory and had to be flown out to the Banner University Hospital in Tucson, AZ. Upon arrival he was diagnosed with a cracked skull and internal brain bleeding. Miguel has also suffered from a broken nose and bad road wounds in his body, Miguel's condition has been progressing little by little and will most likely be in the hospital anywhere from 1 to 2 months. The next couple of months will be extremely difficult for Miguel and our family. Please keep Miguel in your prayers, and for him to get through this situation and for him to come back home soon. Any donations will really help us during these difficult times. Thank you and God bless you.

Rosa Maria, Melanie, Miguel, Miranda y Malcolm
