LYCOMING COUNTY, Pa. — Update 10/12/2023: Mountoursville Area School District released a statement from the family.
Hello Warriors,
An official update from the Wallace family:
"After two successful days of surgeries, Aiden is continuing to improve. While we are optimistically cautious, our hope continues to grow. We don't know what the future holds with a long road of recovery still ahead, but we are so thankful for each new day and all of the support given. We realize there are rumors circulating and presumptions being made, please know we will do our best to update through the school
district and only through the school district with information. As of today, Aiden is off the ventilator and breathing on his own. Praise the Lord! Please keep the prayers coming!"
We would like to reiterate 2 things on behalf of the family. As hope continues to grow and Aiden improves each day, the visitation policy has not changed. Please do not try and visit at this time. There is no reason to go to the hospital now. Also, the family does continue to update the school district, and out of respect and privacy please consider this as the only official updates from the family.
Thank you.
