Life Changes in a Blink: Support Rosie and Her Family

As a parent, you never want to imagine your child being severely injured. On July 14, 2016, unfortunately, that’s what happened to Gwen Siler and her children. This day would change mom Gwen, her husband Paul, children Rosie, Sebastian and Juliet as well as the children’s father Mark’s life forever. A simple car ride along Plum Creek near Philip S. Miller Park turned into a devastating accident. The results of the accident were severe. The children were all injured; Sebastian suffered an injury where his right eye is in a locked position and Juliet suffered a broken wrist. Both are out of the hospital and are recovering. Rosie, however, was severely injured, suffering a head trauma and damage to her trachea. She was flown to Colorado Children’s Hospital for emergency surgery. Rosie has been in a coma ever since and continues her fight to recover. The family remains by her side day and night as the doctor’s watch for signs of emergence from her coma.
