Thoughts and Prayers, please ...

[tg0824SSVGG]

Some of you already know this thru other connections with me, but
on Tuesday morning, my youngest daughter (20) was in a horrific car
accident in Utah (we live in Colorado).

The police officer that was called to the scene could not even believe she
had lived - he expected to find her dead when he saw the car.

She has head trauma, broken neck (at C2 -- a hangmans fracture),
broken sternum, broken ribs - her liver is shattered and her spleen is torn.
She also has damage to an artery in her neck and numerous SERIOUS abrasions from the seat belt.

She was flown by helicopter to Las Vegas, to the trauma center where she has been in Trauma ICU all week. She's now got a halo on, and has all use of hands/feet so far -- thank God.

She is improving rapidly, to the point where I think we will move to a
regular hospital room today out of the ICU ...

Just letting you know, and asking for your prayers - we know they
are making a difference, and you cannot have too many.

Thanks to all in my Supra Family --

Todd

Sitting all day in a hospital on hard nasty chair's isn't my idea of a week in Vegas, let me tell you!

Hey all,

Long time since i have updated about my daughter. Nuerosurgeon says it's time
for the Halo to come off, and move to a hard collar (she will wear a neck brace
for at least a year).

The other injuries are also all on the mend, and her pregnancy is progressing.

Thanks all,

Now we're asking for prayers that this next step is really ready, and that the people
performing the change from Halo to collar are wise and skilled!

Thanks all,

Todd

Halo off! Collar on!! I'm guessing the hot water heater will be emptied at least once today...hehehe BTW...this is one happy chica, I'm not sure she thought the orthotist should survive (it kinda hurt to have the screws removed from her head), but he did, and so did she.


Right after it was put on on October 27:



Today, 5 minutes after it came off, and I can tell you, I think all she's thinking about is a SHOWER!!!
