Thanks to all of you, on behalf of my family and myself. Sorry I have not been able to give an update sooner; I've been at the hospital most of the time and didn't have a computer at my disposal.

Anyway, the Dr. said my grandmother's surgery went well. She had a rod placed in her fibula, tibia, and femur. They said they would not worry about her ankle and foot at this point, other than to put it in a cast. As for the three fractures in her vertebrae, they're still trying to determine if those are an old or new injury. Nevertheless, they are keeping her in a neck collar.

As you can imagine with the extent of her injuries, she is in a lot of pain and discomfort. We've not heard how long she will be staying in the hospital, but we know it will be a long, hard recovery. Still, it is amazing she is alive and with us today. She is still in SICU, but should be moved to a regular room within the next day or so. Through it all, she has been alert and talking with all of us so that is good. Given the condition of the car and severity of the accident, it is amazing she is able to do all of this.

The Lord has given us strength, comfort, and optimism, and I know his blessings will keep coming. I ask that you still keep her and us in your prayers so we can remain strong and have the stamina to keep going during this long recovery. I also ask you to pray for her that she will be comfortable and heal properly and quickly.

As for my grandfather, he was released from the hospital Sunday afternoon and is doing fine, physically. He is still upset that it happened to her, and that he was the one that was driving. We're keeping him company and staying with him at his house to help him, which is helping him keep his mind off of all of this.

I think that is all the information I have right now, but will do my best to keep you all up-to-date. I am extremely grateful to all of you for everything. I cannot thank you enough.

Thank you all and War Eagle to you and yours,
