Update on Councilwoman Hit by Car

Family members say Bay St. Louis Councilwoman Wendy McDonald is doing as good as could be expected, after being hit by a vehicle yesterday.
Eventually taken to a New Orleans hospital after being hit by a car while at a funeral in Bay St. Louis, the councilwoman is said to be responsive to voice commands and aware of her surroundings although she is not yet awake.
Doctors at Ochsner’s Medical Center are waiting for swelling in her brain to go down before performing surgery on fractures around her right eye and left ear.
Admitted first at Memorial Hospital in Gulfport, a neurosurgeon there removed bone from McDonald’s skull to relieve swelling before she was taken to New Orleans.
