Get Well Soon Dylan!
As many of you may have heard by now, #007 Dylan Mercure was seriously injured at the Onsted TT race this weekend and was flown to the UofM hospital for immediate treatment. Dylan’s already undergone the first of many surgeries and has a long road of recovery ahead of him. Below is an open letter from the Mercure Family also. Get well soon Dylan and everyone in the District has you in their thoughts!
As some of you may know Dylan was involved in a crash during his race on Sunday. He has suffered a very serious leg injury. He was flown in by Med Flight to U Of M Children Mott Hospital. He underwent surgery yesterday to fix a torn Tendon, Vascular & Nerve damage and the broken bone.
He has a severed Artery, Nerve and Muscle. The Muscle being the major problem. From the aspect of long term disability we are uncertain what will happen. He will undergo another surgery possibly today, maybe tomorrow. They were not able to close the wound due to the damage of the skin and tissue.
We do have access to email in our room and our phone number is 734-763-9441. We do also have our cell phones. His room number is 6686-2.
Any prayers would be greatly appreciated.
Love,
The Mercures
Just to drop a quick note to those that don't know, Dylan will have a 2nd surgery on Tuesday October 9th to see if any more damage needs to be fixed and to clean the wound out. Hopefully the skin has stretched enough (with the cool new vacuum machine they have on it) to close the wound up. If not he will have to have more surgery. The main concern is still the severed muscle. We will not know if it will heal or not. We will only be able to tell in time if & what will happen with the muscle. We can cross that bridge when we get to it. I will let everyone know what happens tomorrow and where we stand with everything. He is managing his pain with a morphine pump, which is working great.
I wanted to thank everyone for their support and calls. Dylan really loved all the visitors he had today. I think it lifted up his spirits a lot.
Again, I thank all of you for everything.
Love,
The Mercures

Even if you don't know him your prayers will help and just knowing that he has people out there pulling for him will help in his recovery! Please feel free to send an e-mail and let him know where you are from and that you are praying for him his mother has been sharing the letters with him and he thinks thats pretty cool!
