Update: Taran Nolan awaiting spinal surgery

Taran Nolan, wife of Costa Mesa High football coach Jimmy Nolan, will undergo spinal surgery once swelling subsides, Nolan wrote on his Facebook page.

“Tar isn’t doing well,” Nolan wrote Friday. “Still on ventilator and can’t breathe on her own…it’s been 8 days. After 15 days, still can’t move anything upper/lower body. … spinal cord surgery once swelling goes down. She won’t need any more surgeries on her feet.”

He wrote that his wife would undergo a tracheotomy soon.

Taran and three of the Nolans’ four children were involved in a fatal car crash in South Carolina on Sept. 10. Two people died in the collision, the Nolans’ youngest daughter Micki and Glendora Holmes who was the driver of the other vehicle.

Their son Jimmy had stomach surgery last week. Nolan wrote that his son is being monitored in the hospital. Middle daughter Daisy, who like her brother suffered cuts that required stitches, was released from hospital care several days ago.

The Nolans’ oldest daughter Paisley was in Southern California with her father at the time of the crash.

Nolan indicated that his updates at Facebook might be fewer in coming days: “These updates haven’t improved, and I don’t want to burden nor hijack anyone’s feelings. Thanks again for your genuine compassion. I gotta slow updates a while until I witness small victory.”
