#14 Surgery Update

 Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for Sarah along her journey. God hears and answers our prayers. We are seeing miracles happen with her progress and are thankful that she is still fighting. We were told her situation if she were to lose her glute muscles, survivability is very low. So the procedure today to check her muscles was very important. 

Sarah went in for a check on her gluteal and leg muscles today. The doctors said that things are looking really good!!! They have seen much improvement from 6 days ago when we were told she would lose her gluteal muscle almost entirely. No muscle tissue needed to be removed!! It all looked healthy and viable. The doctors were very encouraged by the progress she has made over the last few days. They will continue to watch closely. We will continue to wait and be patient for her body to do the healing that it needs to do. Thank you for all of your fasting, positive thoughts, energy and prayers for healing for our dear Sarah.

    Is Sarah's condition stable?? Are they still worried we may loose her?? What is it most important for us to be praying for? I've been praying like crazy for her glutes, and over all healing but is there anything else specifically we need to be asking for??? I'm so relieved that you had good news today. We love you all faith works miracles!

Sarah is told of her injuries

Today was the day Sarah found out about the extent of her injuries.   Both mom and dad were allowed to go to the hospital to be with Sarah to talk to her about her accident and her injuries. They had prepared themselves for this difficult conversation for two weeks now. It turned out to be a very tender and sacred moment. Mom describes Sarah during this experience saying, “She looked like an angel. Her skin was glowing and she had a faint smile on her face the whole time.” Mom described to Sarah the extent of her injuries and made sure she understood what everything meant. Then she said, “Sarah, I know that’s a lot to take in. Do you know your Heavenly Father knows you? Do you know He loves you and has a plan for you?” Sarah nodded. “He has a plan for you. There is going to be time for lots and lots of tears about this loss, but right now we are crying tears of joy because we still have you. You are the same Sarah.” Sarah asked questions about cheer and a few other things as she spoke

Sarah's Story

As many of you already know, our sweet Sarah was involved in a serious car accident on Thursday night July 30th around 8:30pm. She and three of her friends were driving back from Bear Lake and were involved in a head-on collision with a drunk driver. All in the vehicle were wearing seatbelts. She and her friends were taken to various hospitals in Cache Valley and treated for their injuries. Moving forward, this blog will serve an information center and will be updated as Sarah’s situation changes. She was taken first to Logan Regional Hospital in critical condition. There she was stabilized and her injuries were quickly assessed. She had serious abdominal bleeding, no feeling or movement in her lower extremities, and an issue with her aorta which was causing significant blood flow issues to her limbs. After the appropriate scans were taken, the decision was made to take her by helicopter to Primary Children’s Hospital, where she could receive the best trauma care possible. She

Sarah gets to see her family!

Aug 24th was one of the greatest days in the last 3 weeks. Sarah was able to go outside for the first time and her family was able to come see her! She loved it!! She has missed them so much and they have missed her so much! The nurses and therapists were so sweet to bring her out to see her family. She still has her fever off and on and still has a high heart rate. Her CT scan yesterday showed that everything was fine in her abdomen,  but they saw some very small PE’s (pulmonary embolism- very tiny blood clots) in her lungs. They are thinking that those  may be contributing to her fever and high heart rate. They started her on a heparin drip for that. They are still trying to rule out any source of infection too. All other tests are negative so far. She’s very sleepy and getting lots of good rest which her body needs so badly right now. Overall, today was a good day - the highlight was definitely being able to see her family.  It was awesome!! We are continuing to pray for her fever a
