Autumn was struck by a cargo van Sunday Nov 7. She was in the crosswalk, following traffic signals on her way to get coffee when someone turned left and did not see her. Eventually the van stopped and called 911. She's currently in the ICU at Stroger Hospital and 32 weeks pregnant. Her and the baby's vitals appear to be stable at this time.

 

On Monday Autumn was taken off the respirator and breathing on her own, but she still has 12 broken ribs, a lacerated spleen, collapsed lung, broken leg and ankle, and a slew of other surface injuries. Bryan is at her side and they're working closely with doctors to come up with a plan to deliver baby boy before scheduling multiple surgeries for Autumn. The road to recovery + NICU stay will not be easy.

 

We will try to post updates here as things progress. Thanks to family and friends for continued support and positive thoughts.
