Medical status update

Dear Liga family member
Update as of Friday morning:

On Wednesday afternoon Liam and Julia were checked in at a Trauma Center in San Diego where they have received a thorough assessment. With better CT technology, they think Julia may need a little work on an eye socket and she also has a vertebra fracture that will need surgery. Still, she is smiling and glad her dad bought her an iPhone 4s so she could Facebook!. Liam has an ankle sprain. Both Liam and Julia will most likely to be released in a few days.

Hayley arrived in San Diego late Thursday. As we get additional information we will be sure to pass it along. Things are getting better daily!

So many Liga members have been working hard to help all four families with the aftermath of this event. What an amazing group of people Liga is made up of!

AOPA writer Dave Hirschman was on scene in Mexico last weekend with Liga and has published this article and video regarding the crash. Not what we had hoped for when we invited them down.

  1. Janet, thank you for keeping us updated on the condition of Hayley, Liam and Julie so eloquently, especially with your own challenges. I rush to open every email hoping for the news that they will all be coming home soon!
