On March 6, Savannah Romero was involved in a motorcycle accident in North Dakota that left her in a coma and severely injured. The wife and mother of two was airlifted to St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck, N.D., and later transported to Swedish Medical Center in Denver.
, Carlos, she sustained a brain injury, 12 broken ribs, blood clots, a bladder inflection and MRSA.
After two weeks, the Romeros received a surprise phone call. The stranger on the other end just wanted to offer his support and well-wishes to the pair of Grand Junction natives and devoted Broncos fans. So Carlos held the phone up so his wife could hear as she lay motionless on the bed.
“Savannah, this is Peyton Manning. Hey, I just wanted to call and tell you that you’re in my thoughts and prayers. … I know you’re going through a tough fight right now,” . “Just want you to know that you have me on a list of people pulling for you and praying for you. Appreciate you being a big supporter and fan of mine. That means a lot. Just know that I’m a big fan and I’m pulling for you.”
On Tuesday, Savannah’s was updated with news that she awoke from the coma and is in a semi-conscious state.
Carlos received a smile from Savannah this morning!!!! Savannah tried to talk to him but with the trac she has that makes it very difficult for her to speak. This is very uplifting that the prayers have been heard and she is coming to us more and more each day. She is no longer considered to be in a coma, but more of a semi conscious state.
Savannah is becoming a news sensation and the story of Peyton Manning calling to wish her well is spreading like wildfire. Calls are being received from news stations as far as NY to get her story and we are working on trying to continue to keep everyone up to date as much as possible.
Thank you for all the Prayers! They are being heard and She is Progressing!!!
