Hi Everyone,
This is Sassy's mom Teresa. I just want to give a personal update about Sassy. My family has been so blessed to have everyone's prayers and thoughts these last few days. Sassy had her wrist operated on late Friday afternoon. The orthopedic surgeon inserted 2 pins to hold the fractured, dislocated bones together and will put a cast on it in 2 days{ Wednesday}. Her face still hurts from the hairline fracture, but her beautiful face is still just beautiful. to me. I praise God that she is home laying on my bed at night.
Sassy still has a bad headache that subsides some with medications. She remembers most things through about 2:00p.m. on Thursday, then has a memory loss for the last 5 hours before the accident and 7-8 hours after the accident. The trauma doctor said she will probably never remember the wreck and events right after it-- which isn't a bad thing. She also has some trouble with remembering everything that is said to her now, but that should get better as she heals and uses less medications.
She insisted on attending her Criminal Law and Abnormal Psychology classs at Niceville today, but I don't expect that she will be an involved student. Her brother went with her to carry books and escort her around campus. I had to work and her dad works in Tallahasee.
She refuses to give up on her Peanut dream, so we will be travelling to Dothan several times these next few weeks. She says she has worked so hard and the people of Walton County have done so much for her already that she isn't giving up. I have no doubt that she will make this county proud no matter what the final outcome will be.
Please pray that she has the energy and spirit to do her best in the pageant and won't overdo it. This past week was a tough one, but our family feels so blessed.She is a phenomenal young woman and I thank God that she has been a part of my life and will be a part of my future because this tragedy could have been a lot worse without God and His angels watching out over her.
Yes, she does remember her SoWal friends and reminded me this morning that I needed to send a message to everyone to thank all of you.
I will try to keep you up to date on Sassy's adventure and please keep on praying.
Teresa
