For Jim, and in case anyone else could not read the post I hope this is better:
Update - Mal & a friend were hit by a car crossing the street to go to dinner. Her friend broke his leg and went in for surgery, but he was conscious b4 surgery and said what he knew. They have already done one treatment to help reduce swelling around her brain. They are keeping her sedated and have given the "first 72 hrs are key" statement. I do not have any details about the driver of the car. Roger G.

Maybe y'all can visit later, but she's completely unconscious right now, and it's probably not a good idea, at least not for the next few days. I'll keep y'all posted. Caleb" As for her unconscious state, I've heard from a cousin of hers that it is a medically-induced coma. I've had first hand experience of being in one of those, and I know they are done to manage treatment of one kind or another, so we shouldn't be unduly concerned that she is not conscious - but we should continue to keep thinking positively.

Please, everyone send good thoughts her way right now. I know Roger will keep us up to date when he has more information. We cant really do much right now, this is a time of waiting for healing before we can know much more. If you want to do something, post your good wishes here and we can all come together with our love for such a wonderful friend.

All her mom/dad/Caleb are asking for is thoughts & prayers for Mal. Thanks for getting the word out. And a few minutes later in response to a request for info on her condition: I know how much caving/caver community means to Mal. Appreciate you spreading the word. Soon as I know something I'll post here. & no Mr - to Mal & her friends I'm Uncle B or just plain Bob. Hoping it stays that way for a long time!!! Roger G.

Here is all I know at the moment, contained in a message from her brother Caleb: "I don't remember what the GHG schedule looks like or if Mal had any upcoming trips or meetings, but Mal will be out of commission for some time. She was hit by a car last night and is in ICU. She's stable but banged up pretty bad. I figure y'all will know most of the stuff she had going on with caving, and can thus plan accordingly. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks, Caleb" Roger Moore Greater Houston Grotto -- Lyndon Tiu -- Lyndon Tiu
