Original post (December 30) -- Around 9:30 a.m. on December 7, University of Minnesota-Duluth student Alyssa Jo Lommel, 19, was found nearly frozen to death on a neighbor's porch. She'd apparently spent the entire night outside while temperatures dropped as low as 17 below zero.
THE BACKSTORY: UMD student Alyssa Jo Lommel tweeted about tequila shots before she was found freezing
More than three weeks later, Lommel remains hospitalized. Her condition has been upgraded to fair, but according to her family, doctors still haven't told her how bad her injuries are.
Her doctor "felt that today it would be good to just tell her about the amputations,"
The doctor "also told her how lucky she was just to be alive, but I really don't think any of that sunk in," Teri Lommel continued. "It took her several minutes before she looked at any of us. Then she started to slowly cry."

It would help just whom? And how? Please be specific. Cats are curious. Sounds to me like a grand exercise in ostentatiously slamming a barn door after the horses have fled.
I agree with you my fellow devout Muslim brother GSC, it is indeed the will of Allah that infidel drinking be punished with amputations.
NO SYMPATHY !! Cut off all their limbs!!!
at least that is what Otis said
Prayers up for this young lady.
Al Gore. Had he let global warming run its natural course, none of this would have happened. But no-o-o-o-o ... he had to butt in, and this girl paid the price.
It's so nice to meet someone who has never been young (or even older) and made a stupid decision. < /s >
Your Christian empathy is off the charts... on the low end.
What research is that?
There’s no such thing as near Timmins—you’re either in Timmins or you’re far away from Timmins. I’m probably about six hours away, which all things considered, is relatively close. I’m about an hour past the end of what most people would consider civilization, (and in a much smaller place than Timmins) but I like it here—though I look forward to getting back above zero Fahrenheit at least for daytime highs.
My uncle got stuck during a blizzard in South Dakota. He spent 3 days in the car in -20 to -40 degree weather. He was found when the snow plow hit his car, which was covered.
At first they were going to take all 4 limbs. He ended up losing both legs at the knee, one arm at his forearm and a couple fingers on the other.
He was a tough old guy.
So her parents were very strict? I didn’t see that anywhere.
What a sad story....going by this account. Girl goes to college and gets really really drunk probably for the first time. And ends up like this
The TV stations in Duluth use Caring Bridge to report on this on a regular basis. If they sign up they can presumably get updates which are written by the family. Perhaps not the best way to gather news but it is what they are doing.
In light of what just happened to this girl, that's a stunningly coarse thing to say.
Tell ya what. I'm done. You go ahead and think whatever you like about this unfortunate incident.
Not at all surprising coming from you.

How compassionate of you.
it is sad that people do stupid, self-destructive things. sad for them and sad for those around them that are impacted by it too.
I don’t care how drunk you are, if you’re going to college in northern Minnesota, it’s going to get cold at night and one should always take proper precautions. In the first news story, her friends said she didn’t seem intoxicated because she was walking fine, yet she managed to not walk up her own walkway and wandered around in the neighbor’s backyard before falling passing out on their porch. What a shame.
Man, get a life and maybe a soul to go with it. A dumb 19 year-old does dumb things and you want to quibble about her “tweeting”?
I’m as compassionate as anyone else here, sorry I wore the wrong color ribbon
