UPDATE 12/13/20 01:00 – Last week, an update was posted on Lyndsey Burrow’s health. It is reposted below. The update was initially published by her mother on social media, and was shared to a GoFundMe page that has been set up to support Burrow and her family. That GoFundMe has raised over $26,000 to-date.
“It has been 24 days since the accident. Lyndsey was stable enough to have an MRI. She has suffered severe brain damage, Stage 3 DAI (Diffuse Axonal Injury), lack of oxygen to the left side of her brain. It may be a minimum of six months before we see improvement. Doctors continue to say she is young and allow time for the brain to heal. God has made her and will rebuild her. Thank you all for the love and support through this very difficult time.”
ORIGINAL STORY:
Harding freshman softball player Lyndsey Burrow remains hospitalized following a motor vehicle accident last week.
Burrow, a freshman outfielder from Brentwood, California, suffered a car accident in Arkansas on November 13th, according to a tweet from her alma mater, Heritage High School in California.
On Sunday, November 22nd, the Harding Softball social media accounts provided an update on Burrow’s condition, quoting a social media post from Burrow’s mother. “One week after the accident, Lyndsey continues to battle for her life,” the update read. “She remains in very critical condition with severe head trauma at UAMS Medical Center in Little Rock Arkansas. Please continue to keep her in your prayers.”
Harding softball also requested prayers for Burrow and her family.
In a March 2020 article by the Brentwood Press, Burrow earned the publication’s Athlete of the Week award. She listed her favorite part of playing softball as the camaraderie that comes from being part of the team. “I love becoming friends with everybody, meeting new people and knowing you have teammates that always have your back,” she said at the time.
