For accident victim Kacie Carlsted her mother, Lee Ann said “it is still a hour-by-hour, day-by-day wait” for her to wake up from heavy sedation.
On Monday, Carlsted had surgery for her facial fractures and a tracheotomy for breathing. Tuesday, Carlsted had additional surgery for what is called a PEG, which is a feeding tube directly into her stomach. All procedures went well.
Though she is still in a coma, Carlsted has begun responding slightly to pain stimulus, according to her Caring Bridge entry on Wednesday.
The site has received more than 20,000 visits from family and friends.
“As I read many of the entries, I am at a loss of words for all the people who care so much for Kacie,” said Lee Ann in her Wednesday journal entry.
