photo by Michelle Goodall-Nowels. Barbara with (almost all of) her girls.Barbara had surgery this past Wednesday afternoon. A plate was used to fix her clavicle and another was used to fix her wrist. There was a lot of damage there. But she came through it. The next goal is to wean her off of her sedation a little at a time so she can then be weaned off of the ventilator that is breathing for her. Her other wounds (broken ribs, punctured lungs, many bruises on her body and face) are continuing to heal.
She is one strong Mama.
Services for her husband, Damon Faust, are pending. Their two oldest children will be making the trip to visit with her this weekend and make some very hard decisions about their father's burial schedule. Such tragic decisions for them to make. But they are wonderful and I know with all of the prayers that are being said for them right now, they will have the strength to do what they need to do.
A trust fund has been set up for the Faust family at Zion's Bank.To contribute or make donations, you can visit any Zion's Branch Office.If you aren't near a Zion's Bank, you can mail checks or money orders to the following address:
Zion's Bank Provo University Office

Please, include a note or letter stating that your donation is for Dr. Damon Faust. If you want a reciept for your donation, you must mention that in your letter.

What a sad and tragic time for Barbara and her family. I'm glad that she's doing better.
Hi honey, just looking for the donations page at the bank, I also found this to pass along to friends.
You can send Barbara an email at the hospital.

Visit that webpage, fill in the form, put ICU as the room number, and send. The staff will make sure she gets the messages.
