Ftlausa Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 As most are aware, fellow Mooney owner Todd Silver lost his life in a crash that occurred on June 12th. Todd was the owner of Todd's (aircraft) Canopies, and there is a link on the webpage for his business to a fund to help pay his 12 year old daughter's medical expenses. His daughter is the only survivor of the accident, and she was severally injured. I post this here in hopes that fellow Mooney owners will donate to help this family in need as a sign of solidarity. The link to the webpage is www.toddscanopies.com 3 Quote

fantom Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 It will be a long haul for the family...praying for them. DONE Quote
carl Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 Posted on June 21, 2016 by Maya Gockenbach (She is a family friend who set up the fund raising)_ Update on Gabi....Jen ( thats her mom) said it was a exciting day today she (Gabi) is awake now and all the therapies came in Physical therapy, Occupational therapy, and Speech. Gabi sat up and then stood up and then sat in a chair for a little while. They also tested her to see if she's ready to eat or drink so all good so far with this progress. Please continue to pray and watch this little miracle unfold! The above is from the fund website. I believe she had a pneumothorax, fractured pelvis,and head trauma requiring a intracranial monitor (Licox).I know you doctors here will agree her progress is amazing And she is only 12 I hope for a full recovery, so i think this will be my last report. carl 1 Quote
carusoam Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 Carl, great update. Modern medicine does amazing things... positive attitude can cover a lot of ground where the doctors may not have answers... I hope she gets therapists she likes. The good ones make the work seem more fun. It is quite a relief when your loved one physically awakens from such an injury. Sometimes it can take more than a week for this hopeful step if a TBI is involved... (I'm only a PP, but I get to work with people with TBIs) Best regards, -a- 1 Quote

Carl, my wife Alice has sent a letter to Tanya Silver offering support from the Mooney Summit and the Bill Gilliland foundation in addition to a personal donation to the fundraising site. Not only does Gabi need healing, I am sure Tanya will need support also. I am so glad to hear she is off the ventilator. Those things su&k. Thanks for helping us all help. 2 Quote
