\/\/illy Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Recently Leanne and I learned that our best friend Christine was involved in a very serious car accident on the weekend. On Saturday night around midnight, Christine was involved in a three-car accident on a country road in Grimsby. The other two drivers sustained only minor injuries. Christine was air-lifted from the scene of the accident and flown to Sunnybrook hospital where she now remains in critical care. We were told that she has suffered two collapsed lungs, a broken leg, a shattered pelvis, and a 35cm laceration to the bone, on one of her legs. She was scheduled for surgery on her pelvis on Tuesday but it was later rescheduled for today. She has been heavily sedated the entire time so no one has been able to find out anything from her. She has been responsive to several 'cognitive' tests that the doctors have been able to do including 'blinking' answers to certain questions. The doctors have been very careful to tell the family that they will know a lot more after the surgery has been completed and she has recovered for a couple of days. (At that point I suspect she won't have to be as heavily sedated.) She will be in critical care until at least the end of the weekend and we will not know anything more until that time. I will keep everyone posted with whatever information we are given.Anyone that has met Christine knows that she is one of the most beautiful human beings, inside and out, to have ever graced this planet. She always has something nice to say, always has a smile on her face and always is enjoying life and her relationships with all the people around her. I don't know what else to say about it right now. I miss her and I love her and I hope she makes a complete and speedy recovery so that we can share some wine and some laughs together again.I know that a lot of people here have met her so we thought it only fair that you know what has happened.
