Young Jenks Crash Survivors Undergo Medical Procedures

Recovery continues for survivors of a wreck that killed four Jenks residents last month.

Family members are posting updates on Facebook pages created in support of Lauren VanHorn and Izzy Kitterman. They say encouragement from the public is helping the girls as they heal. 

Lauren VanHorn was scheduled for surgery Tuesday on her left heel and Achilles' tendon, and Izzy Kitterman was to have a trach tube inserted. 

They will be able to take out her breathing tube to get her more mobility and the ability to drink, eat and talk after her throat heals, according to Izzy's Facebook support page.
