Update about Andrew and Melissa

Andrew Adams has made some improvement. He is still in ICU in Ogden, UT, but is alert (when medication wears off enough to allow it) and breathing on his own.  He is able to move his legs and arms. Melissa is hospitalized in Salt Lake City. She has been in a lot of pain and has pretty severe swelling, but her overall condition is good and doctors are hopeful that she will be well enough to be released from the hospital by the weekend.  Regular updates are being posted on a Facebook page devoted to Andrew and Melissa:

Updated Information about Andrew and Melissa Adams

1:30 p.m.

I just talked with Andy Adams. Andrew and Melissa were injured in a one-car accident in Utah this morning. Andrew is in critical condition in an Ogden, UT hospital with serious head injuries. He is now in a medically-induced coma.  Melissa has injuries, but they are not thought to be life-threatening.  Please keep them in your fervent prayers.

Andy and Cathi will be flying to Salt Lake City as soon as they can get a flight.

Further update about Melissa:  She was injured more seriously than first reported. She has a broken neck and broken ribs, but her condition is not considered life-threatening at this time. She is hospitalized in Salt Lake City, UT. 

Andrew & Melissa Adams

We do not have details at the present time, but have learned that Andrew and Melissa Adams were involved in a serious car accident today. They were traveling to Oklahoma where Andrew was returning for his senior year at Oklahoma Christian University. Melissa was accompanying her brother on the trip, then was going to fly back home. More details will be posted when they are available, but please remember Andrew and Melissa, as well as their parents, Andy & Cathi, in your prayers.
