NI Blogs: Hammer Victim Struggles

Herb Huseland brings us up to date on the life-and-death struggle still facing hammer-attack victim Yvonne Wallis of Bayview. Yvonne, along with son, Michael, daughter-in-law, Patty Heath, and Patty’s son, Jedidiah, were attacked by a allegedly deranged man living next door, Larry Cragun. Heath died in the pre-Christmas 2010 attack. Since then, Yvonne has undergone a series of serious surgeries. Herb: “(Yvonne) is now at home, where a few friends and neighbors have volunteered and were trained to give those treatments twice a day, for probably the next six weeks. Assuming that the infection will be beaten by then, she will be transported back to the University of Washington for a permanent plate to be installed. Nothing is guaranteed. She is still in a life threatening condition and without great care, could fail to survive.” Herb is trying to raise $500 to help w/transportation expenses for Yvonne for an operation that will install a permanent plate.
