Update #1

Leonicia was immediately airlifted to Loma Linda University Hospital following the crash.  She suffered two broken legs, broken ribs, and had bleeding in her brain.  Since then, Leonicia has been able to open her eyes, move her toes and hands, and even say a few words!  Praise God!  Her breathing tube has been removed and she is able to breathe on her own.  MRI scans have shown a decrease in the bleeding in her brain but there is still a ways to go in her recovery in this area.  Because of the miraculous progress she has made in such a short time, Leonicia has been moved to a hospital that specializes in brain trauma.  Here, she will be able to have some visitors, in moderation.  

Leonicia's mother, Debra, is currently staying with her during her recovery.  Debra has been faithfully supported in this process by Leonicia's good friends and family.  Her church families of One Church and Pasadena Church have also been instrumental in addressing the spiritual and material needs of Leonicia and Debra.  

Praise Reports:  First, we praise God, our Healer, for Leonicia's life!  We are so thankful for each breath, each word, every hand movement, and every little victory.  We are thankful for the dedication and skill of the first responders, doctors, and nurses.  We are thankful for God's provision through means and through people.  We are thankful for the opportunity for Leonicia to receive care from doctors who specialize in traumatic brain injury.

Prayers Requests:  We boldly pray for complete healing of Leonicia's body and minimal psychological or physical repercussions.  We pray for the wisdom and care of her healthcare team.  We pray for peace and strength for Leonicia, her mother, and her support network.  We pray for continued provision (financial, emotional, and otherwise).  

Needs:  Please donate here to help with Leonicia's medical expenses.  Please share this website or the gofundme page with your friends and family.  Please pray.  If you would like to contribute in another way on inquire about visiting information, please email us at lovingonleo@gmail.com.

Blessings,
#TeamLeonicia
