A 13-year-old boy struck by a car in a crosswalk in Santa Rosa last month remains hospitalized with critical injuries and friends of his family have started a GoFundMe campaign to assist with his medical bills.
Atticus Pearson was crossing the street in the 4600 block of Hoen Avenue on the morning of Jan. 19 when he was struck by a Honda CR-V going east. The driver, a man in his 30s, immediately stopped and has cooperated with authorities, Santa Rosa police said. Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be factors in the collision.
Atticus's mother, Margaret Amanda Pearson, has been updating her son's condition on the GoFundMe page and has outlined his daily recovery, saying Wednesday that progress has been"slow but good."Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter. Atticus suffered a pelvic fracture and has had brain swelling that required doctors to remove a portion of his skull, his mother said. He has had to be intubated to assist with breathing. He remains largely unconscious, though he has responded to the touch and voice of his parents. His dad has been reading him the book"Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline.
His parents got some good news on Tuesday that their son didn't appear to have cornea damage -- he hasn't fully opened his eyes -- and on Sunday his fever had reduced and the draining from his brain swelling had slowed. An MRI taken Jan. 25 showed no additional damage to his brain, his mother said. Yet there are still plenty of unknowns.
