This morning, November 7, around 10:30 Makayla was riding in a pickup with a few of her school friends when they rolled the pickup on a gravel road. A friend that was in the vehicle with her called me to inform me of the accident and I got there just as quickly as I could. The other girls had gotten out of the vehicle and had some abrasions but Makayla was still in the vehicle. The firemen and EMTs there let me get up by the vehicle and talk to her but didn't want me to touch the vehicle or her until they got her out. She was not pinned in but couldn't move her legs. After they got her out and got her secured on a backboard, she was lifeflighted to Memorial Hermann in downtown Houston. She went into surgery for a nasty break in the Thoracic area of her back. There are also abrasions on her face and scalp and she has a skull fracture too the way I understand. I have not been able to see her yet as I type this, altho I do know she's out of surgery and it went as expected. We will know more when she gets into a room.
