A Settlement Conference has been scheduled on
2.08.07 at 10.30am before Judge Klein. It looks like the
defendant may have agreed to plead guilty. At this
hearing, a non-trial Judge will sit with the defendant
and explain the case as it's charged. He will also go
over the plea agreement and explain the possible
sentence attached to it. If the defendant pleads guilty,
Audrey's father will have the opportunity to address the
court. He will also have an opportunity to address the
court at the time of sentencing.

Audrey had another doctor's appointment on Friday 12/22/2006.
It appears that she is healing very well considering the
extent of her injuries. The doctor has given her the ok
to stand up more often and to begin the process of
learning how to walk again with her reconstructed legs.
Since then, she has been able to get up and walk across
the room without assistance.

Audrey had her first doctor's appointment since
being released from the hospital on Monday 12/18/2006.
Today she was able to stand up for the first time with a
little assistance and painful legs since the
hit-and-run.

Audrey’s father spoke at the Avondale City
Council meeting tonight to propose the construction of a
traffic light at the intersection where his daughter was
tragically struck by a hit-and-run driver on November
30th, 2006. The city of Avondale has "pre-ordered"
a traffic light since the accident but it is not
scheduled for installation until summer 2007. Mark
proposed that the city should have some sort of safety
precautions in place until the traffic light can be
installed. He has also asked the Avondale City Council
if they can move the installation date up. There will be
an article in The Arizona Republic on Saturday December
16, 2006 about the Avondale City Council meeting.

PLEASE ATTEND THE AVONDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING THIS
MONDAY
On Monday, December 11th, Audrey’s father, Mark
Marquez is speaking at the Avondale City Council
meeting, which begins at 6:00 pm. One of the topics on
the agenda for the night is updating and amending
chapter 23 of the city code relating to speed limits,
truck routes and school zones. We absolutely NEED a
traffic light at the corner of Avondale Blvd and Whyman,
where Audrey’s hit and run took place last week. Mark
wants to get at least 500 people to arrive at 5:45 pm.
PLEASE join him in getting the city to promptly put in a
traffic light at the high school crosswalk so no more of
our children are injured or possibly killed.

At 5 pm today, Audrey went home!!! She is doing a
lot better and her family couldn’t be happier with her
progress. Audrey is focused on her physical therapy and
doing whatever it takes to have a quick and healthy
recovery.
Avondale will be having a City Council meeting where one
of the issues being discussed is the crosswalk at the
high school. Audrey’s dad plans on attending and
speaking. PLEASE join him in support of Audrey to get a
light installed at the school intersection. Mark will
have the date of the meeting posted here by Saturday
morning. Check back, or inquire with the city of
Avondale so you can attend in support of Audrey and her
family.

Today Audrey had an ultrasound due to pain in her right
leg. The results were negative, and doctors reported
that her leg is in the same condition that it was
following her operation. Unfortunately, her red blood
cell count is down to an 8, and until she brings that up
to a 12, she must remain in the hospital. Audrey ate
more today, and is expected to reach a 9 – 9.5 blood
count by tomorrow morning. If she continues to increase
her amount of food intake and raise her count to a 12,
her family looks forward to being able to take her home
Friday afternoon.
Audrey has decided not to take any pain medication – she
says, “she just wants to fight through it.” When asked,
she said her level of pain is currently at 5 on a scale
of 1 to 10. Such a
strong girl. The fact that she isn’t masking her
discomfort has inadvertently given doctors an advantage
in determining Audrey’s healing progress. She is able to
let them know exactly what’s happening with her body and
if anything needs attention.

Audrey's red blood cell count is still very low, so they may have
to operate on her spleen. Tomorrow they will give her a
second blood transfusion and hopefully she can go home
on Thursday. Check back tomorrow night for another
update. |
