To All members of WOSAT
I received this from Lola Vanslette and it tells the condition of her son
Let us all keep praying for him
Hi Larry,
I just want to let everyone know I appreciate your prayers, and I wish I could print them all out for Stephen to read later.
He is still being kept fairly sedated to keep him from hurting himself more, but he is aware enough to squeeze my hand when I am with him. His legs have been set and he has plates, bolts and pins holding them together. He will have full leg casts for some time. His jaws will be repaired and wired next week. His lung was reinflated and his ribs will have to heal themselves, as will the hairline fracture in his pelvic bone which goes from one hip to the other.
He finally moved his right arm today, and is more active, so they had to increase his medication so he will rest. He is still on a respirator and feeding tube. All we are waiting to find out the extent of the damage to his brain. It is bruised pretty badly and has had small fissures which caused blood to pool in areas of the brain, but I was told these are minor. His pupils dialate so we are hoping everything else is okay.
I will keep you informed as to his progress. Thanks for all your prayers, they are working.
Your friend,
Lola
