Stacy Sykora in hospital

  • WEll, maybe most of you already know about it, I was updating teh news in Braislian LEague treat, but since the situation now is a bit more serious I decided to copy here.


    Unfortunelty the situation of libero Stacy Sykora is worse then what was previously released in brasilian perss yesterday.


    As you know, yesterday the bus of Volei Futuro delegation suffer an accident when they were going to gym for the first match against OSasco valid for semifinal of brasilian superleague.


    Most of VF players are ok, just suffered some bruses and cuts cause of the broken glasses of the windows, and are already in hotel resting.


    But the american libero is a bit worse, the player hit her head and suffer a cut on it. Yesterday, apperently everyone though she was fine, she even talked with the other girls before being trasfer for precaution to a better hospital to make more detailed exams.


    But today the Hospital Sírio-Libanês released that the player situation is not very good, but she is stable. It was detected that she had a head trauma and some internal bleedings in her left side brain. The player now is sedated over treatment in the Intensive Care Unit. The doctor that is part of the team that is treatting her, said that now they will wait for the edema of teh hematoma to get slower, and will let her own brain to absorv the blood caused by the bleedings. A catheter was placed in her brain to monitorize the brain pression, and so far non pression change was detected, but she will keep with the catheter for the next 2-3 days for precaution. No surgery is needed!


    she will ahev to stay hospitalized for at least 15 days, 7 of this in ICU area. And after she be released from the hospital she will have to pass by a rehabilitation process, so she wont play anymore this season.


    No further medical report was released cause the hospital is waitting the arrival of one of Sykora sisters, that live in US, and is now coming to Brasil.


    Here in Brasil everyone is praying for her, so she can stay well soon. FORÇA STACY!

  • I wish her all the best for her recovery :flower: :kiss:

  • It will be OK and Stacy will be fine.


    Vai dar tudo certo e Stacy ficará bem.


    FORÇA STACY!

  • Joycinha made a livecam in twitter today, and said the latest new they had was that today Stacy had a small recover, she was better then yesterday, but she is still sedated, cause she cant move a lot, cause is head trauma and everything, so she needs to stay resting. Her sister is arriving today.


    And also she said they heard Alisha Glass and Logan Tom are going to come to São Paulo to stay with Stacy, but they dont know yet when they will arrive. She asked everyone to keep praying for her, they only want to see her well, cause she is incredible person.


    She said she dont remember much the accident, she said the girls that were in front of the bus didnt suffer nothing much, just the ones that were in the back. She said before the accident she was joking with Stacy, cause Sykora was listenning to some rap and was singing in english loud, and Jocyinha said they joke with her saying she sing very well in english, and she joke saying, yeah I lived there three months so I learn the language. And Joycinha said she joke saying "but I bet if there was a american here in the bus you would be shy to sing in english in front of them"...:)


    And then happened the accident, and she dont remember much, she just remember there was a lot of water, and she hit her head, but she dont know where, and Gritz, the MB, was well, she kiccked the window to take out the girls from the bus (and eventually hurt her legs cause of that), but that she started taking out the girls. Joycinha said she was fine, she got nervous when she saw Stacy conditions, then Gritz took her out, and took Fabiana out of the bus too. Then a supporter from Osasco, that were close, took her and Fabiana to the hospital, cause they were the first two to leave the bus, from the ones that were more injury.


    The other players from Volei Futuro are in Araçatuba, in their homes resting.


    Joycinha said She has a lot of pain in her neck, also Neneca, Tandara had some pain in the sholder. Ana Cristina has some bruses in her arm, and GRitz in her leg. Jordane hurt her back, so is in a lot of pain too. Fabiana has 8 steeches in her arm, so she will need more 5 days to take it off, and also she is felling pains in her leg cuse she hit it. The rest of the team over all is ok. But she believe they have no conditions for game right now.
