Injured Family Members in Stable Condition
SOLDOTNA, AK (June 8, 2004) - Three members of a Covenant family are reported
in stable condition following a head-on collision Saturday in Soldotna.
Kristi Ivanoff, an instructor and counselor at Alaska Christian College
(ACC), and her two children were airlifted to Anchorage where they were
hospitalized, according to ACC President Keith Hamilton. Kristi's
husband, Curtis, who has been heavily involved at ACC and with Covenant
Youth of Alaska (CYAK) in recent years, was on a fishing trip and was
transported to the hospital via missionary plane to be with his family.
The driver of the other car involved in the accident was not injured.
"Twenty-four hours later, what was critical, serious, and very
threatening has become a miracle of healing," said Hamilton on Sunday
night. "Nathan, the two-year-old, has only a broken femur, which was
re-set today (Monday) and is fine. Charis, the five-year-old daughter,
suffered a minor skull fracture and is doing very well, although
sedated. She will be fine. Kristi was the most serious and while the
prognosis was unknown for some time, she is tonight in her own room at
the hospital with a head injury, and besides moments of short-term loss
of memory, is able to laugh and communicate well with family who have
all flown in today." Hamilton said Kristi may be able to return home in
three to seven days – "a real miracle of God's praying people."
The ACC staff has requested asks prayer for the three Ivanoffs, both for
their return to full health and for better detail on how the accident
occurred. "They also ask for discernment as the school prepares for
upcoming summer building repair activities and fall classes," Hamilton
added. More information on the family's progress will be posted to this
online Covenant news report as it becomes available.
