Hi, 6.18.06
Jennifer just arrived down there (Sunday). I spoke with her and Will Hamilton who is also down there in Tennessee. Timmy, the boy who was driving was out of surgery for puttting his arm and shoulder back together on the weekend. Multiple breaks put back together with pins and such. Rose with cracks in her pelvis and tailbone is released from hospital and walking painfully with a walker. Danny the boy with downs had a punctured lung originally and has now been released to the family. Elizabeth, Lizzy had multiple breaks in her pelvis, protruding bones, internal bleeding. That was worked on right away with a day of surgery. She is alert and awake now. Possibly/probably they will have to do more to piece her pelvis back together. They are waiting to see how the wounds seal over and also see her internal organ functions. The others in the car were bruised, banged and cut with flying glass etc. A lot of their cuts were stapled together in emergency room and they are since released. There was a girlfriend also in the car. She was banged up but released quickly. The Walker parents are both there on it and attending to the kids. They have some rooms in a nearby hotel. Their kids who have been released are with them. Sounds like the kids are sedated for pain and everyone is getting their first nights of sleep since it happened. William Hamilton was not in the wreck but went down there right away after the wreck escorting the Walker mom, Heidi. They arrived there at 7:30am that morning after the wreck. It evidently was a SUV type of wreck. The kid driving swerved at 70 mph and the vehicle started rolling. Three were ejected. Airbags evidently held some of them in. Amazingly, no fatality, no spinal injury or brain injury in the bunch. Jennifer Hamilton along with Elsie Smith and her daughter Happy have driven Heidi Walker's car down there having left Farifield this weekend. Jennifer as an RN, Will as a paramedic and Elsie with supplies of herbs, remidies, and good food will cover with this extra help. Many people sent things along with the car. Happy is a good friend of the Walker kids. The care at Vanderbuilt has been superb, top-flight. Jennifer and Will as medical people are impressed thus far. At least three of the kids are going to take a long time to re-cover. I would suspect that the Walker family, Heidi in particular will need some cash to live down there for a while.
