On Wednesday, February 8, 2023 my sister Lisa was dogsitting a familiar dog when the dog attacked her. Thankfully she was on the phone with a family member and a neighbor also overheard and they were able to call 911. Police officers arrived and tased the dog off of her. She was taken to the local hospital where she was stabilized and then air flighted to the nearby trauma center. She broke both arms, sustained facial fractures and trauma to her nose and cheeks. Unfortunately her right arm couldn’t be saved and was amputated above the elbow.

We are thankful she is home after just a few days in the hospital. She has a large facial reconstruction and nerve surgery scheduled to help with phantom pain this week where she’ll stay a night in the ICU then will be discharged home after a few days. She will have more facial reconstruction surgeries over the next year and once she is healed up, she will be fitted for a prosthetic to her right arm.

Lisa and our family appreciate everyone’s prayers so much. She is very positive and is determined to recover, heal and get back to work and life as soon as possible. We are all astounded at how her spirits remain high as she navigates this challenging life event. She is thankful to God that her injuries weren’t worse, she is alive and attributes her positive outlook to her faith in Jesus. Please keep Lisa, her 4 year old daughter and our family in prayer over the next few weeks, months and years.

If you feel led to contribute money it will go towards medical bills, hospitalizations, surgeries, a prosthetic arm and it will help with living expenses and any loss of work. Thank you so much for your prayers and God bless you all. ❤️
