#18 Surgery Update: Back to the OR

 Sarah was taken to the OR around 10 PM last night. Her left thigh had started to swell up. The plastic surgery team came in and looked at it. They said that because of the heparin (blood thinner) she is on, it had started to bleed inside. They stopped the heparin and took her to the OR to clean out the blood that had collected in her leg. There is also still  concern about an infection somewhere so they wanted to check her muscles to make sure everything still looks healthy.

The surgery went well. They opened up the incision on the side of her thigh and drained about a liter of blood out of her leg.  The muscle all looked healthy and fine.  They left her incision open and put a wound VAC on it. They opened up the glute incisions too just to make sure things were good there. They looked fine and had good blood supply. No signs of infection and no concerns there. They left wound VAC’s on her incisions on her glutes too just in case they need to be checked again.

It was a minor setback and complication but we are so grateful that everything went well and that everything still looks good. 

When these little worries and set backs occur we feel so grateful for the sure knowledge that Heavenly Father knows her, loves her and has a plan for her. 

Sarah is feeling better and better. She’s awake more and enjoys playing card games, watching movies, doing her daily exercises, and texting family and friends.

We are so grateful for the team of doctors, nurses and therapist who are taking such good care of her and making the right decisions for her care.  We have 100% confidence in them and we know she is in the best place she could possibly be and getting the best care possible.

We are so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who is hearing and answering our prayers for our dear Sarah.

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!

Image
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
