Lisa was taken into unexpected surgery this morning to irrigate the wound on her left leg. The doctors are now saying this will have to occur several more times before the reconstructive surgery can be done. Also, some tissue had to be removed during the surgery this morning due to the large amount of dirt, gravel, and debris remaining in her left leg. She was taken for a CT scan to identify any additional injuries that have possibly gone undetected.
7:00pm The doctor came in and said they have decided to go ahead and do the reconstructive surgery tomorow, after another good cleaning of the wound. A metal plate will be inserted into her left leg above her knee, as well as bone and skin grafts. They will also check the swelling in her right hand. She has had several visitors today and yesterday, including Colonel Collins and members of the senior staff. Your continued prayers through this next surgery are especially appreciated.

Hey Sunshine,
What's the deal? I can't believe you would go on vacation and get yourself hurt! I hope you're doing well and you must know you're in my prayers constantly.
I'm going to be busy getting ready for the traffic record's forum in St. Louis next week so I won't be able to sneak down and see you. However, if by chance, and I hope you're not, you're still where you are next week, you can bank on me coming down and harassing the snot out of you.
Please take care and we'll talk with you later. I know you've explained what happened at least 100 times so I'll wait and ask you later. I just want you to know that I'm thinking of you.
Always your friend,
tom
Lisa,
I was very concerned to hear of your crash. Mom and Dad called me as this was on the news in West Virginia. I asked Pam, your neighbor, to keep an eye on your house. I have been praying for you ever since I heard the news yesterday.
I will be checking on your progress frequently.

Lisa,
You're going to be hard pressed to make our Monday morning conference...I'm just glad you'll make it at a later date. Sorry I couldn't make it over today, but I was previously committed in Dayton and couldn't make it back to travel with the colonel and Dave. You are in Susie's and my prayers, and I know many others. I'll be talking to you soon. We are all thinking about you.

I will keep you in my prayers, even though I am a terrible prayer. I suppose that has something to do with my shrinkage.

Whats up with that??? I want you to know that I am thinking of you !! You need to get better soon because S/Lt. Roark needs his running partner back.

Hey Major Taylor,
I was on vacation when I found out that you had an accident. I came back today and Ms. Robyn came to my office to give me an update. I heard about the thumb's up you gave and I have to say...it sounds just like you. ;)
I am so glad to know that you are alright for the most part. I will continue to keep you in my prayers and I expect you to be up and running real soon.
Take care,

Lisa,
Hearing early on that you had been life-flighted, but not knowing WHY was terrifying. I was relieved to learn that it was your leg and not your head, neck or spine, even though your leg is seriously injured. Can't wait to see you when you return to Cols. So many people are praying for you, God HAS to be listening! Love ya, Connie W.
Major Taylor,
I hope you continue to feel a little better with each passing day. I will keep sending healing thoughts and prayers your way.
Take care,
