Update

Tammy is in ICU and will be there for several more weeks. She is heavily sedated and periodically fights through the sedation and opens her eyes, her mother is there with her. Her color, temp and heart rate has returned to normal but is being kept on a breathing tube as she will have surgeries about every other day to repair her legs. Next week the doctors are going to begin to rebuild the bones in her arm. They are using new cutting edge equipment which has recently passed some clinical/prototypical type testing, in fact, Tammy will be the first they have used this on. She is getting a viable blood supply to her arm, but the nerve bundles have been greatly damaged.

Barring any infection, the wonderful doctors assure us she will survive. One thing that saved her life was her body armor, she had no internal injuries...amazing!

Once again, thank you all for your prayers.

Thanks for the update. I've been thinking about Tammy a lot and I'm glad to hear that she's going to make it. Praying that she stays free of infection and that she regains the mobility in her arm.
Can you post a mailing address for her? I'd love to send her a get-well card.
