Thank you for sharing the update.

I understand privacy but is anyone else getting bad pit-of-the-stomach vibes from the lack of updates? They had been very regular with updates and then nothing.

This could be a ‘too soon to tell’ time. It’s hard to give updates when each day is so marginally incremental from yesterday, with some backslide days and some progress days, it’s hard to know what to say.
The easier way to measure progress is over weeks and months.
But if it matters, that does say a good deal about the depth of the seriousness of her condition. And recovery.
That said, a year from now we may be celebrating her recovery. But hard to know what that looks like now.

Me. I am.
I think that Liz’s family owes absolutely nothing to us as far as updates, but I’d hoped that there would be good news that they would want to share. I’d hoped to hear that Liz is communicating in some way by now. The pit in my stomach is doing its pit things.

They did make a response on her eventing page saying “this period of recovery can be slow , meaning we are not going to have as many frequent updates.”
Still vibing for Liz!

I shared a chateau with Liz during the Le Mans 24hrs when she was driving many years ago. I didn’t know her at the time and was introduced through mutual driving friends. I can honestly say she was so nice to me. It was only use two girls amongst a load of boystrous men but laughs and giggles galore we had. I wish her all the best for a speedy recovery, she’s a fighter so i feel sure she will get through this swiftly. Victoria x

Oh man, y’all, read the ignored contact if you can. Some AI bot joined here and said she met Liz when she was a driver at 24 Hours of LeMans (a famous CAR race) and wished her well…

Um, Liz has completed LeMans multiple times. She is also a race car driver. The above poster is legit.

Wishing someone well is never a bad thing.

Argh. I will contact Mods about this. I should have known, since that race is important in my life with DH.

Absolutely, but when they went from near-daily updates to nothing in more than two weeks… 
I am worried there has been a set back.
I’ve also suffered a TBI, I know plateaus happen in recovery, but no word in so long is generally not good.

FWIW it makes me worried, too.

I am absolutely worried sick about Liz and thinking about her every day. I respect her privacy and just know Liz we are rooting for you every single day! The sport is just not the same without seeing your name on the start list. #KeepfightingLiz

The reality of where Liz went for rehab indicates the severity of the injury. She did not go to a local rehab facility. There are about 20 neurological rehabilitation facilities consistently considered the finest in the US for TBI/Spine injury. She is in the best of hands where she is so we can continue to have hope she will be back doing what she loves.

She’s at an excellent facility in IL, perhaps family can no longer be there daily to provide updates? I hope she continues to heal and make progress. It’s a very long road I’m sure.

I was coming here to post exactly this! I really do appreciate the updates that are coming through, and I know it’s got to be very hard on everyone involved to determine when it’s most appropriate to provide an update. I’m glad they are sharing as much as they are.

I saw the update too, I think we need to respect their position and just give Liz and her family some space and time…but every now and again let them know we are thinking of her.

I agree. I sincerely hope the family knows that our interest in Liz’s progress is from a place of love and concern.
Like TheJenners, I had a TBI from a jump fall and when fellow horse people are hurt in similar ways, my heart immediately goes to be with them.
Stay strong Liz, family and friends. If anyone can conquer tough things, it’s most certainly a horse girl.
