It must have been requested by the family to have this happen, since I just wrote a story for the Health & Medical section coming up, and located about 11 Caring Bridge sites that still exist from local kids -- some dating back to 2004 and before. Mitch was released from the hospital with instructions to resume a normal life, but without strong contact to his head (no diving for balls in ballgames, etc.). Otherwise he is doing well and was seen at a school banquet about a week after graduation. Yes, apparently his site has been deactivated, which is unusual.

He got a pass from 12 to 5 so he could attend. Today we brought him home around 1:30. This mornings chest x-ray looked good. His bandages from, where the chest tube was, will need to be taken off on Wednesday. He cannot get the area wet until it is removed. The skull & lower back fractures should heal on their own over time. He was fitted with a back brace but will only need to wear it for comfort. The staples will be removed in two weeks, at his follow up appointment with the doctors. We will have to schedule him a TBI appointment (tramic brain injury) to be done one month from now. He currently isn't on any pain medication. He can't drive until the docter's appointment. He can't do anything that could in any way injure/hurt his head. (jumping, trampoline, wrestling, football, ect.) Raechell, Janette and Famly P.S. Thanks for all the support through these times."

Mitchell was able to sit and visit with some of his teachers and family. He was also able to visit with some of his close friends. This was a huge step because Mitch stayed wide awake the entire visit (about 2 hours.) So far Mitchell was able to walk the hallway 4 times.” Sincerely, Raechell & The Bayerls Good news about Mitch Bayerl posted today on Caring Bridge!

Kacie is stable and still in critical condition. She moved her left hand today when the nurse cleaned her mouth out. This is a good sign because she has not moved her left hand before this. She is moving on a subconscious level and is reacting to pain stimulus (she does not like having her mouth cleaned out). Surgery is still scheduled for monday for her face and will have the tube in her neck (treacheotomy) for breathing done at that time. We thank everyone for the prayers and support and please tell people to check this web site for ‘correct’ information. I will keep updated as soon as I get information from the doctors.” Lee Ann Carlsted Lee Ann Carlsted, Kacie’s mom, made this entry at Caring Bridge today (Saturday, May 31):
