There’s a long road ahead for three children whose parents were killed in a car accident on the way home from a family outing earlier this month, but their progress thus far is miraculous.

Zachary Clemens, 5, Angela Clemens, 8, and Wyatt Clemens, 4, are recovering at Cook Children’s Medical Center in Texas after the April 7 accident killed their parents Jim, 31, and Karisa Clemens, 29, and their 2-month-old baby sister, Julieanna.

Saturday was the first time all three siblings had been together since the accident.

Their 2-year-old sibling, Nicholas, who was also in the car during the accident, has already been released from the hospital and is staying with an aunt.

In special moment, shared to the family’s fundraising page, the siblings hold hands as they sit in wheelchairs.

“We are not going to limit the resiliency of these children, we are just going to accept every day as a gift,” the children’s great aunt, Teresa Burrell, told InsideEdition.com.

The kids were all life-flighted to the Texas hospital after the tragedy. Angela suffered brain damage and broken legs and has undergone several surgeries.

Zachary suffered a broken back and had quite a few internal injuries, and Wyatt suffered brain damage and was left temporarily paralyzed on his left side after having multiple strokes.

According to Burrell, another woman’s car went over the median while the family was driving and the woman’s vehicle flipped over and landed on top of the family’s suburban. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

Don’t worry about it. I mess up a post or ruffle some feathers every once in awhile.
