Welcome to Sarah's Place

Hi, everybody. This is Sarah's Place, a website devoted to providing news and support to Sarah's many friends and family in Pennsylvania and beyond. It's brand new, and will be spruced up over the next day or two.

We'll be copying the old posts from Bay Ridge Blog and copying them to this site. Any suggestions, please send them either
a) in the comments section below any "post" or
b) by e-mail to me at bayridgephantom@gmail.com or
c) by e-mail to John Casey at jlc89@comcast.net

John advises that Sarah had a good day today and has a big day tomorrow, so I will get an update out to Sarah's team this evening.

Good night, everybody.

Mrs. Casey

Mrs. Casey, mother to Brigid, grandmother to Sarah, and matriarch of the Casey family suffered a stroke a few days ago.

She passed last evening at about 7:00pm. The loss is great. Mrs "C" was full of life, love and was always upbeat. It won't be the same without her, but the house will
continue to be the place to gather. It will continue to be filled with the people she loved most..her family.

The family is in the process of making arrangements. Though specifics aren't yet known, Sharon believes that arrangements are being made with Lehmans, which is located on Hazle Street on the hill toward Ashley.

Sarah

Sarah continues to remain stable. This morning we believe she broke a fever she has had since her hospitalization, so that is great! She is also exhibiting more movement, so we continue to hope she starts responding to commands, and opens her eyes.

As always, the family thanks you all for your love, concern, support and your prayers. (Sharon)

Sarah had a quiet evening [Saturday night] , and continues to remain "stable" which we are pleased to report. She did sustain a broken jaw during the accident, and on Wednesday of this week one of her Dr's will be exexamining the situation to determine whether it can be wired at that time. They are concerned about infection, and although we would hope they are able to fix it on Wednesday, it may be something that will have to be addressed down the road.

Thanks to Juliana, who advised me that the proper spelling is "Sarah".

Sarah has spent some quiet days in the hospital, which is good. She is gagging and coughing at times--which is also actually good in this context.

Additional tests are forthcoming, which will reveal more.

Sarah Godfrey - UPDATED

Heard on Saturday:

• she is now breathing on her own.
• they're unable to do some brain-function tests at present because to do so, they'd have to move her.

Hang in there, Sarah.

I heard the following as of Friday:

• bladder control returning
• there had been concern about her heart, but that has abated-heart seems fine
• some eye response observed

Will pass along additional information when I can.

Sarah Godfrey is a 13 year old girl who was badly injured in an auto accident in Wilkes-Barre, PA exactly one week ago.
