BREMERTON Age never seemed to slow Clayton and Helen Hansen. Clayton, 90, routinely drove Helen, 78, to farmer's markets and thrift stores and even trekked to the Washington coast often to visit family.
Neither Clayton or Helen appeared to have serious injuries, but as a precaution they were taken to Harrison Medical Center. There, the decision was made to fly them to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Before meeting caribbean vacation travel cruise Helen, Clayton was in the Navy for about two decades spanning World War II and the Korean War. He was mostly a cook, but Ron Hansen remembers his dad telling stories about being pulled into combat on multiple occasions.
Helen loved to garden. She'd make flower arrangements, sometimes caribbean vacation travel cruise adding cuttings from weeds along the roadside. The couple kept plenty of nectar on hand for hummingbirds, which seemed to whiz past their Lebo Boulevard home all year round.
"Obvious serious medical injuries were not apparent to this investigator on scene," the officer wrote. "Medics on scene did not (advise) of anything other than minor injuries as a result of a general collision investigation."
At the hospital, the Clayton's and Helen's families had to decide how far doctors should go in attempting to revive the two. Both families ultimately wanted their parents to be as comfortable as possible. Helen's son Dennis encourages anyone to have a conversation with loved ones about what to do in such an event.
The couple had been kept in separate rooms so that they were unaware of the other's condition, which could cause undue stress and prevent their recoveries. But when recovery became unlikely, caribbean vacation travel cruise hospital staff wheeled them next to each other and their families gathered around their bed sides.
