Status Update
In the last day, the following changes have happened with the kids:
Dante: No change, we’re just waiting right now.
Amada: Her breathing tube has been removed, so she is now breathing on her own. She’s woken up a few times, and has been responsive to questions and has had short conversations with her dad. Great!!!
Noah: Noah is currently (just after Midnight on Thursday) undergoing a minor exploratory surgery to insure that he doesn’t have any minor internal bleeding. Since he (like everyone else) was wearing his seat belt (thank God!), he suffered severe bruising to his lower stomach, and they just want to be 100% sure that it didn’t cause any problems inside before they downgrade the severity of his condition.
I’m pretty sure, though, that he thinks they’re just doing this so he doesn’t get to drink or eat for even longer. When I rode up on the Medivac flight to Denver with him Monday night, he whispered to me that all the doctors and nurses were out to get him because all he wanted was some water and they wouldn’t give it to him!
As long as this goes well, though, he’ll be drinking blue Powerade and eating a nice big burger in the next day or two!
I will update this blog as soon as the results of the surgery are back.

Oh thank the Lord that the children are here on Mother Earth still – but a long road ahead & with all the love this family has for them, they will heal. I also am very deeply touched & saddened to know that Jason lost the love of his life, Cassandra. She did indeed touch many lives (I myself did not know her) but my 1 of my best friends went to school with her & was very, very saddened by this tragedy. I live close to Oxford & was on my way home shortly after this happened. Just know that as a local, my heart is there for this family & I am praying for these children and each one of their recovery process. Jason, the Creator has a different plan for your wife & know that she is definitely your angel to guide you & the children for the rest of your lives. Bless you all.

We were distressed to hear the bad news, Cassandra was such a lovely person to be around. I keep seeing images of her from the last time I saw her, she was excited to see me and she was smiling and waving. This is how I will always remember her, with a smile on her face. We are grieving for her, and praying for the children’s full recovery. We love you, Jason, and will be here, along with so many of your friends and family, to help you and the children through the tough times ahead. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love , Jaime, Buddy, and Vista DeMarco
