Sheryl (Sherri)’s Story

Site created on March 10, 2018

This page has been created for so that everyone can be a part of her journey.       Quick note...if you have chosen to donate please make sure that you go to the GoFundMe link.   While the CaringBridge tribute is a wonderful donation/organization that money is not directly sent to Sherri and Shauna for their needs.

Sherri Dunn and her daughter, Shauna Dunn, were in a tragic auto accident on Sunday, March 4th around 6 p.m.  They were traveling on Reavis Barracks Road and were rear-ended by one car and then t-boned by another…you may have heard about the accident on the news because it was so bad that Reavis Barracks had to be closed down for a couple of hours.  Sherri and Shauna were both rushed to the hospital in ambulances. 

Shauna had to stay the night in the hospital but was released the afternoon of Monday, March 5th with a broken bone, pretty intense bruising, a few cuts, some scratches and major soreness.   

Sadly, almost a week later Sherri remains in a critical but stable condition in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit and will be there for an undetermined amount of time.  Sherri suffered a fractured skull, broken left collarbone, broken left shoulder blade, all the ribs on the left side were broken (some in multiple places and some were broken away from the spine), some broken ribs on the right side, broken pelvis on both sides, smashed spleen, damaged liver and punctured lungs.  Sherri immediately had to have surgery to remove the spleen and was put on the ventilator because she wasn’t breathing.   

Since the spleen surgery, Sherri has undergone surgery to repair the ribs…this estimated 2-hour surgery actually took 4 hours!  It is unclear at this time if she will require surgery on the broken pelvis.   

This sweet family is under the pressure of a future of massive medical bills from multiple doctors and services all while Sherri is unable to work and Glenn has taken off work to be with his wife.  Please keep them in your prayers and visit their GoFundMe page.

Newest Update

Journal entry by Christy Kaiser

Hello everyone, so sorry for my lack of updates lately.

I just wanted to update everyone and let them know that Sherri is doing OK and while we thought she was going home today we had a little setback yesterday so she is not leaving the hospital just yet.  She gave the nurses a big scare because she had a pretty big drop in her blood pressure.  They are kept her to make sure they figure out what is going on with that before sending her home.

My 2 cents (I know you don't want it, but...)  I think it is a good thing they kept her for a couple of reasons.  She still has not been able to secure some of the medical equipment just yet including one of the most important pieces...a wheelchair ramp on her home.  She really needs that the most before going home.  I think that having one is best for her safety and pain level and I think she agrees.  She is just not able to do steps very well and the thought of someone pulling her up the stairs IN her wheelchair kind of scares her.  We are working on this and I hope we can get it done before she is discharged.

She is walking a little more each day and really gets worn out from her physical therapy which makes her sleepy.  She also seems to be in good spirits but was a little sad to be in the hospital and not with her family on Easter.  I will do another update when she is sent home.

Keep those prayers coming!! 🙏
