NIK, thanks for the heads up. DD7 was traumatized. First the whole family was going to die, then she refused to get out of the ambulance because she thought I was going to die. I had to promise her it was really ok and they were just going to check me out. I'm not dying, just hurt. Friends across the street kept the kids while we did the hospital thing. DD refused to eat till she saw me again.
DS4 was trembling and crying but once the fire truck and ambulance showed up, he thought it was pretty cool and started telling responders about sharks and dinosaurs. 
When we all got back to Mom's to eat, he was munching on his pizza and murmured, "That wreck was horrible scary."
My sister kept the kids over night so I could rest. DS didn't want to go. Was scared he wouldn't see me again. Promised him I would. I just can't properly care for them on my own for right now and Aunt would bring him to me in the morning. He seemed ok with that.
Somehow the impact tore me up the worst. As painful as it is, I wouldn't have it any other way. I couldn't bear to see my kids or QS in pain.
jjct, I'll be breaking out ice packs and heating pads today. Will try your suggestion. Mom will be babysitting me today so she'll keep an eye out for any crazy symptoms.
girlsbird, the nurse meant well but I *so* do not do needles.

Glad you and your family are all ok, Aubrie.
I remember when I was 5 or 6 my dad got into an accident with me in the car. I had nightmares for weeks, and every time we had to go somewhere it was a fight to get me in the car. I was afraid that every time we drove someone would hit us. 
I got over it...I think my mom said it took a month or two before I wasn't afraid of the car anymore.
I hope your Bronco is ok.

Yeah, I suspect it will be the same for us. I spent the day on Mom's couch so she could keep an eye on me. The kids were there as well. Neither said anything about the accident till Mom took us home.
As we were pulling out of the drive, DS started whining, "I don't want to get hit again." DD threw in a couple comments too. (Shoot, I'm scared to get in a car.)
Once home, DD was joyfully proclaiming, "YAY! We made it home without an accident." Then DS curled up on the couch with me and said, "I didn't know that a Mommy could get hurt. I thought just kids. Why did you get hurt?"
This is going to be a process.

I'm glad you all are ok and I'm so sorry you went through that. As someone else said, the Bronco can be replaced but you can't. Take it slow the next few days and rest up.

Take it easy with yourself and with kiddos... They process so very differently than we do. It is great they are talking to you about it. That says a lot about your relationship with them.
Lots of gentle hugs all around.
It is a process... take care of each other gently as you process this.
I am so glad y'all are ok.

Aubrie! I'm glad you guys are all safe and relatively unharmed. I hope things with the insurance, etc, pan out the way you need them to. If you need anything (idk what I could actually DO here but I'm trying to offer support!) don't hesitate to let me know.
