Kylie Benson (16 years old) was involved in a vehicle accident on Monday morning. A semi ran over her car, she got out of that car and walked over 200 yards. She has life threatening injuries at this point, more than 60% 3rd degree bodily burns, inhalation injuries, some spinal (bone) injury, fractured ribs, injury to her right eye and, her right hand is severely injured. They are expecting major disability and a minimum 6 month stay.
Updated Tuesday (10/29): Kylie is still in a critical stage. She has 3rd degree burns from the top of her head to her knees. You literally can not place a hand on her body without touching a burn. She has fractured ribs and spine with a vent tube for her collapsed lung. She is on a respirator to help her breathe, she can not talk. She is in a medically induced coma. She can not open her eyes because her face is severely burned. Both of her arms and hands have been deeply burned we are concerned with not only infection but the skin restrictingblood flow which would lead to loss of her limbs or digits. We want everyone to be a part of her journey as she walks this out.
Update Wednesday (1030): Today is surgery day! One of the biggest obstacles has been regulating her blood pressure, within the last hour her level of meds to control her blood pressure has went from 20 to 5! PRAISE THE LORD! This means she will be ready for her first surgery!Her lung fluids are clearing too!Praise the LORD!
