Chad and Ellie Reed’s Daughter Kiah Suffers Serious Back Injury Kiah Reed, daughter of motocross legend Chad Reed, is in the PICU after a crash during practice left her with compression fractures in five vertebrae (T6–T10).
Initial fears of lung or rib damage turned out to be spinal injuries, with additional concern over a possible renal artery issue—though that may be congenital. She was transported to a children’s hospital for an MRI, which will determine if surgery is needed.
Ellie Reed – Friends, we’ve had ourselves a day. She’s finally asleep and I can sit here and cry without her seeing me.
A prayer, a good vibe and some loves sent to Kiah would be appreciated.
Earlier today she had a crash during practice. We took her to the hospital thinking lungs, ribs. Nope, sis has compression fractures of her T6, T7, T8, T9 & T10 vertebrae.
They also had concerns of the renal artery being compressed, however we have learned that part might be congenital so will discuss with vascular tomorrow.
We were transported via ambulance to a children’s hospital an hour away and she was had MRI and admitted in the PICU. (Pediatric intensive care unit)
Pending the results of her MRI they will determine if she needs surgery tomorrow –
I waited to share anything because I’ve been waiting for answers. I’m still waiting but I know she could use the love right now.
She’s so tough and typical Reed- she cried harder facing the reality of missing racing and less about her pain.
All the good vibes and prayers to avoid surgery and heal on your own my sweet girl. 💜🩷🙏🏼
