nothing to do.
Ok , well today was a lil better seeing as though i didnt go to the hospital. What ive heard from crystal so far today is that Faith had moved from one room to another. And well i dont know if i talked about the whole nuber and the pressure in her brain but i guess that it was at 19 and they wanted it down to 6 (which is good)... and then yesturday it was down to like 13-14... and that was without the medication that she had been on. She is still comatose, and still critical... for all thatr i know, if you want an actual update... or atleast today's news go to Badkitty172002's site.

She wanted me to post the updatred version of what happened (the new article in the newspaper)

Family and friends were keeping vigil at the bedside of a 5-year-old Ypsilanti Township girl who was critically injured when she was struck by a car Wednesday afternoon.

Faith Ann Ferguson remains in critical condition at the University of Michigan Medical Center, where she is in a coma, her father Paul Ferguson said this morning.

Ferguson said his daughter was a hero, running into Bunton Road in Ypsilanti Township to get her toddler brother, who was crossing the street. Faith ran into the path of a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, and the 48-year-old Belleville driver was unable to stop before he struck her.

The accident, which occurred near the entrance of the Lakeview mobile home park, was witnessed by several people.

Washtenaw County Sheriff's Cmdr. Dave Egeler said police have learned additional details of the crash that differed from the original version. He said police are continuing to investigate and piece together the statements from witnesses to the crash.

Ferguson, who was not there at the time, said Faith and his 2-year-old son Cameron were inside a van with family friends preparing to leave. He said his mother, who is disabled, was also near the van and had placed Cameron in a car seat.

When the children of the driver of the van crossed the street to get their mail, Cameron was able to get out of his car seat and began following them across the street, Ferguson said. Her father said Faith saw her brother in danger and went after him.

"She saved her brother's life, and now she's in a coma," Ferguson said from the hospital this morning. "She was a little mom to him."

Ferguson said his mother saw Faith in the road and tried to warn her, but it was too late. He said the driver of the car that struck her got out and held Faith until help arrived.

"I understand he's been in shock since it happened, and I wanted to thank him for holding our little girl and keeping her safe," said Ferguson, who gave police a card to deliver to the driver. "We know he tried to stop."

Ferguson said about 40 people have visited each day to pray for Faith, who he described as an "incredible little girl" who would be a kindergartner in Lincoln Consolidated Schools in the fall.

"A lot of people are praying. I don't know what's going to happen," Ferguson said. "She's very playful and active - just a sweetheart."
