Dylan’s Story

Site created on July 23, 2018

Dylan was in a car accident on July 19th outside of Vermillion. He was air lifted to Sioux Falls Children's Hospital with a traumatic brain injury. It has been a tough road and he is hanging in there. Doctors tell us that he has made it over the most crucial time frame. He is still in a very critical state but is stable. He has shown us how tough he really is by jumping some huge hurdles. Things have been looking up. Right now it is a waiting period to heal. We will keep everybody informed right here with any new news. We want to thank all the first responders in vermillion, the air lift team, and the Sanford Medical Staff, all of you guys are truly amazing.    We will let everyone know as soon as it is appropriate for visiting. Until then please respect our personal space and do not push for information or visits. PLEASE KEEP ALL THE THOUGHT AND PRAYERS COMING OUR WAY. THANKS TO EVERYBODY THE FAMILY HAS APPRECIATED ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT. YOU HAVE SHOWN US HOW MANY GREAT PEOPLE LOVE DYLAN.
