Zoe's Post Road Accident Recovery Fund

On Monday morning my friends Tricia and Scott Ordway's daughter, Zoe,  was in a horrific car collision at the intersection of Bentley Rd and Post Rd.  Zoe was heading to cross country practice at 6am and was T- boned trying to make a left hand turn onto Post Rd.  The other driver and a fellow team mate came to her aide right away and called 911.  It took them 25 minutes to cut her out of her car.  By the Grace of the Lord she never loss consciousness and her father Scott Ordway was by her side all the way to the hospital. 
     
     The doctors found that Zoe had broken her left femur,  broken her pelvis in 35spots,  has a crack in her hip socket, and  fractured  her sternum.  The EMT's and doctors told her parents she is extremely lucky to be alive.   From the picture of her car I would call it a MIRACLE!

     Zoe has started her long road to recovery with her first surgery to fix her broken femur this am.  Her surgeons are happy with it and Zoe is recovering well.  The next obstacle Zoe will have is her pelvis.  The doctors are holding off her surgery to see if she can endure the pain and allow her pelvis to heal on its own.  The surgery would require a pin across the front of her pelvis which would leave her with a c-section type scar.  Zoe would also never be able to have children naturally.  She will be forced to have cesarean births.   Based on this surgical diagnosis,  Zoe opted to see if she can withstand the pain as her pelvis heals.  They should know by Friday if this will be a possibility.

     Zoe has a long road of recovery and physical therapy ahead of her.  She is a multi- sport athlete at West Forsyth High School.  She runs cross country in the fall and plays lacrosse for the Wolverines in the Spring.  She is surrounded by love and prayers from her teammates, coaches and families.  Her plans are to return to her sports stronger than before and I have no doubt with her parents and community behind her,  she will accomplish just that!

    This was truly a tragedy.  As many in our community know the intersections on Post Road are dangerous to say in the least.  Every morning and evening rush hours we run the gauntlet to head to school, work, practice...etc.  I have lived here for 20 years and have seen minor and major accidents at these intersections.  The community has spoken about these problem intersections at town meetings to only fall on deaf ears.  Post Road is state run and its time to step up and take responsibility.  As parents we should not have to dread looking at our phones to acknowledge if our children made it to school ok.  Please look at Zoes' car and think about your child sitting in the drivers seat.  Zoe's accident will not be the last without changes to Post Road intersections.  I pray there will be no more tragedies like Zoe's.

     Trish and Scott have asked for your prayers but I know they will have major medical and rehabilitation bills ahead for Zoe.  I have created this Go Fund Me page to help with some financial support for Trish and Scott so they do not have to worry about expenses on top of the overwhelming medical issues Zoe will face on her road to recovery.  Your donation will go to towards all of  Zoe's medical expenses.

     Our hearts go out to Trish, Scott and their daughter Zoe.  They are humbled by all the love our community has shown since the accident.  I know they appreciated your continued prayers.  We have truly witnessed a miracle yesterday.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
