Update on "Sad Situation"

The other day I wrote about a sad situation. An 18 yr old drunk teenager ran a stop sign and his vehicle ran into the side of a pick up truck. The passenger in the truck was 8 months pregnant. She was injured so badly that the baby was ripped from her belly and died from blood loss. The mother was injured in many different places and it didn't look good for awhile but its been 10 days now and today I received an update.

Her condition has been upgraded to "guarded". She is still in a medically induced coma and a ventilator, but she has had the surgery on her leg and arm. She remains in ICU.
The driver that hit her was arraigned this morning and pleaded not guilty though he did not say anything. That plea was entered on his behalf. More court dates will follow in the upcoming days/weeks.

Please continue to keep this girl in your prayers and also the driver that hit her. Their lives have changed and will never be the same...all because this boy decided to break the law by participating in underaged drinking and then getting into a vehicle and driving drunk.
