July 18 (Wed)

10:07 pm Lisa arrived at Grant Hospital around 8:00pm this evening. It was a long ride from Morgantown, and now she is resting. The family is requesting no phone calls at this time, but limited visitation is welcome. Visitation hours will be posted tomorrow. Lisa has touched so many lives, and her life has been equally touched by all of you. She sends her love and thanks. God bless you all.

Lisa's blood count is up and she is on her way to Grant Hospital via squad. More updates once she's settled and a room number is available. Directions on visiting hours and restrictions will also be provided. Pray for safe travel.

A post office box has been set up for those who wish to send cards and letters:

Lisa Taylor
P.O. Box 236153
Columbus, OH 43223


Lisa's blood count was low this morning, so she has been given a unit of blood. Doctors will reassess her condition to determine if she is still able to travel or not today. We are still hopeful she will be able to come back to Columbus, but if it has to be delayed for her benefit that's fine too.

Lisa, God has his loving arms around you, and is taking care of you every minute, every second. Keep the Faith. We are praying each morning for you as we read the updates. You are getting stronger each day.
Just remember, David (Dave Noell) was given 2 transfusions of blood during the night while waiting for his second open heart surgery.
Stuff like this happens, but it will make you stronger.

I hope you are well enough to travel back here where your friends and family can be closer to you. I won't come see you right away because I know you'll probably be bombarded with visitors when you get here. You are still in my families and my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there kid, you are very strong person!!!

Major Lisa,

I'm sure the blood they put into you will give you the extra strength to bring you home to us. God works in mysterious ways and I know he has something wonderful, in mind, for both you and Mary. Major Lisa remember: Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life.

God Bless and keep you safe.

So, you've joined the Saved by the Helmet Club, ey?? That's not a club most folks want to be in, until they consider the alternative...

Glad to hear you're coming back home, the Buckeye State has missed you. Stay strong, do what the docs say and know that you have an army of family, friends and colleagues praying for and cheering your daily progress.

OK so we will never plan our vacation to include FRIDAY the 13th ever again!!!!

I picked up my bike from your house to ride home - no acusing me of being a CANDY ASS and taking the Grayhound home!!

We saw neighbors - Sam & Rich will take care of the yard.

We made it back to Iowa this afternoon. You'll be glad to know our first stop out of Zanesville was a HD shop to buy ARMOR GEAR!

As soon as you are able we will come for a weekend. We'll bring hominy, meatloaf and sweet tea.

Keep the Faith & Press On!

A friend of ours ask if we knew the troopers that were hurt from the motorcycle crash. We said yes, they were dear friends. Their response was then they are a friend of ours too and we will say prayers for them and hope for a speedy recovery. What a wonderful community. Thinking of you everyday. Glad you are back home.

Well, I guess until you're 100% again you'll just have to ride on the back.

Bet that scared the BA-GEE-BEEZ out of you didn't it.

Back home again...no sweeter words...that is until you are in your OWN home. I, too will be there to see you, but will wait a few days for the crowds to thin!! Praying you continue to improve as you have. I can't imagine working in your section with you not there. It must be really depressing for those folks. See you soon!

Lisa, it's Rita and Tim- previous owners of your home...we were so shocked to hear of your accident but from the sound of the comments, you are doing very well- which is great! It's so strange how we found out about it- I'm glad we did so we could offer you our prayers too. It sounds like you have great faith in God which is essential in times like this- he will help you and get you through- we will certainly talk to God for you and pray for your continued healing and recovery... Lisa take care... Love, Rita and Tim Redman
