Mum wrote on her blog a bit about the accident on Monday. I'm still in shock and grief over the loss of Cindy - a fellow musician and spiritual mentor. My prayers are with her husband, who is in ICU. Her daughter Dani, also in critical condition, is staying strong and there are hopes that she'll be out in a few weeks.
Leah kept a positive outlook, though she is now paralyzed for life. "Even in a wheel-chair, I can still play my trombone and be annoyingly loud!" is what she told her mother on Tuesday morning. Randy, who was thought to have smashed his brains, actually has no permanent damage to his head: it's just bruised and banged up badly. His surgeries on his wrist and hand are today and tomorrow, the results look promising. Kyle came home on Tuesday, and with the exception of a couple of procedures on his arm, is fine.
The community will still mourn Cindy's death as we go into our first weekend of Oliver performances. But as our director said last night, "We play for our friends as they recover, and we play for Cindy." It may be difficult to play, knowing that they were all part of this, but Leah has sent word that the show must go on, not only for their sakes, but because Cindy would have told us to.
