Dan’s Story

Site created on July 7, 2020

What happened:

On July 5th, Dad and Linda were riding on their Razr in Gallatin Gateway. They were t-boned by an incoming vehicle in an intersection as they tried to cross Highway 191.

Initially Dad and Linda were brought by ambulance to Bozeman Deaconess for medical evaluation. Dad sustained broken ribs, collapsed lung, and broken facial bones. The facial injuries were too extensive for doctors in Montana, so both he and Linda were flown to Salt Lake City about 11pm that evening. 

Linda was evaluated in SLC and was admitted for broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and broken shoulder.

See below for updates since then.

Journal entry by Sarah Meade —

We headed home Saturday (7/18) morning, Dad and Linda are finally back in Bozeman to heal. His doctor appointments went really well Friday (7/17), and although he has a long road ahead of him, he has a really promising recovery ahead. 

Again, I can’t thank everyone enough for your support, words of prayer and well wishes. I will try to update this periodically as he recovers. Please keep them in your prayers!

Love to you all!
