We learned overnight that two children of the Ken and Juanita Timbs family, Wolfie and Krissa, were injured in an automobile accident. The car they were in was struck from behind, and responders had to cut them out of their vehicle. Wolfie was rushed to Egleston Children’s Hopsital, while Krissa was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.
It was initially thought that Wolfie had either a fractured or broken back, but tests eventually showed negative, and he was released around 1:00 AM.
Initially, Krissa was said to have been bleeding internally, requiring surgery, and had a broken arm and shoulder. Early reports from the hospital staff to the family were that there was minor intestinal tearing and that surgery had repaired that, and that both her arm and shoulder were able to be reset. It was believed she would be moving to recovery, where she would be observed for a few days.
However, Ms. Timbs just spoke with the actual doctor, who reported to her that during surgery, over half of Krissa’s colon was removed, and there is a great chance of infection. He also indicated there is damage to the left knee, and that despite reports of her arm being reset, she will require surgery, having pins placed into her arm. Thus, Krissa is still in bad shape, despite earlier reports of improvement.
