During Sunday night.Susan began showing signs of trying to wake up from the coma. The doctors are now sedating her to help keep her comfortable. When she wakes up, I will post again. She is responding physically to some external stimuli. When her son squeezed her hand, she returned the squeeze. These are all good signs. In the meantime, there does not appear to be any spinal fractures. They will do surgery on her left leg at a later date. The clavicle is broken. According to TC, the horse's foot grazed her right eye area and she has a scrape from the other side of the hoof on her forehead.
The horse, Marsh, and the dog, Tory, are doing fine. They are with me until further decisions are made by Susan or the family.
I would like to thank everyone for Susan who has helped make this an easier situation: World Barrel Racing management. the nurse who helped in the arena (I did not post your name as I don't know if you want it here), those of you who helped take care of the horse and the dog, those of you who helped locate and save her equipment for me and many others who I know did their best to make the most of things. Bless you and yours. Your kindness will never be forgotten. We will be sure she knows how many stopped their lives to be sure she and her beloved animals were safe.
Please be aware Susan has never joined the computer age. Thus, if you would like her to know of your prayers and concerns, I suggest you send cards or letters in care of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Brady, P O Box 11, Laneville, Texas 75667, Sandi Hatfield, Claudia Smith, or to me at Circle Star Farms, 357905 Wiggins Rd, Hempstead, TX 77445. One of us will be sure to get them to her. If you want to email her, please send them to me at
[email protected] and I will print them out for her to read.
