• The crucial third day has passed.  For head trauma, 48 to 72 hours are the most crucial, and Abby has steadily improved.  This is the report from out school web site:

  Thursday night was a good night for Abby.  She had a cat scan on Friday and the results should be in by Saturday.  The crainal pressure has stabilized.  There are reports that doctors are “pretty sure” there is no spinal cord injury.  Her hand and feet were both tested and they all had movement.
  
  Taylor is now is a private room.  She is awake.  She has a broken pelvis, broken wrist, gash on her forehead and a small skull fracture.
  
  Gordon and Lee Ann were able to obtain a room in the Ronald McDonald House.  The room there is $25.00 a night.  There is a kitchen in the room so they will be able to warm up meals.  They will be staying until at least Monday.  In the meantime, meals delivered to them would still be a great idea!  Over the weekend, Gordon and Lee Ann will evaluate their situation and come up with a plan to be there for Abby and to also be there for Frank.  This may mean one staying with Abby while the other spends time with Frank and then after a while they would switch.  Please remain in prayer for Abby and her family as they make these decisions.

  The Linams would so like to express their appreciation for the outpouring love and support!  They feel they have been so blessed by everyone.  At the same time, they would still like to encourage people to lift up and pray for the driver of the vehicle and also pray for Taylor’s family.  Both are still feeling badly about the accident.

  [Taylor was driving the 4-wheeler when they crashed, and Frank is Abby's little brother.]

  Thanks again for your prayers.
