"She's sore and swollen, she's got stitches everywhere but she's doing all right," said her father Stan Sisk by telephone from Logan. "She's groggy. She's awfully tired. It's a lot of sleeping. We're trying to keep her kind of quiet and out of the limelight and just relax."
Sisk, 21, was a seasonal lodge housekeeper. Her jaw is wired shut and she has lots of stitches, her father said. The family visited a doctor Wednesday. She has more surgeries ahead to repair her torn scalp.
"It's a pretty promising prognosis considering what she's been through," her father said.
