Canadian freestyle skier Sarah Burke sustained serious injuries during a training run at Park City Mountain Resort on Tuesday.
The publicist for Sarah Burke’s family, Nicole Wool, issued another update on her condition this afternoon:
UPDATE, Friday, Jan. 13, 4:27 p.m. MST
“Sarah remains in critical condition in the Neuro Critical Care Unit. With traumatic brain injury, our care is focused on addressing the primary injury and preventing secondary brain damage, as well as managing other injuries sustained at the time of the accident; all of which requires close monitoring and intensive care. At this moment, Sarah needs more time before any prognosis can be determined.”
Our thoughts are still with Sarah and her family. We are all praying for a full and speedy recovery.
Sarah’s family is grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of support from around the globe. Fans may continue to use Sarah’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sarah-Burke/50553451173 to express their wishes and receive updates.
