Update on Heather

I pulled this from the 'Maumee Valley Wheelmen'.

"If you didn't know, Heather Mitchell crashed at the Cone-Azalia race on Sunday and sustained some serious injuries. She was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Ypsilanti for care. She sustained a laceration to the side of her face and to her elbow which have been taken care of. No neck or spine injuries were found and no broken bones.

There was concern about her mental status and a dilated pupil at the Hospital and she was temporarily placed on a ventilator. The ventilator has been removed and she is breathing on her own and is able to sit upright in bed and is more alert. Her CT scan showed a very small amount of bleeding in her brain which the neurosurgeons are following but at this time are not overly concerned with. She will be evaluated by an ophthalmologist in the morning but at this time the doctors are confident that her pupil issue could be an isolated one and does not necessarily indicate more serious damage. Of course things can change and further information will be available when she is evaluated in the morning.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers! Updates will be posted here as they become available."


Lets hope that her brain heals properly and can make a full recovery.
