The Putmans’ nightmare is still ongoing.
The stars of TLC’s Meet the Putmans shared an update after multiple family members sustained injuries in a Michigan car crash that killed patriarch Bill “Papa” Putman, matriarch Barb “Neenee” Putman and daughter-in-law Megan Putman.
Megan’s husband Blake Putman and kids Noah, 15, Lulu, 13, and Alena, 11, were also hospitalized, with Noah remaining sedated, according to an update shared to their Instagram Sept. 28.
“We are so grateful to see that he is responding to us with movement,” they wrote. “Every small sign reminds us that God is at work and hearing our prayers.”
Their niece Gia Putman—the 11-year-old daughter of Brandon and Kacie Putman—was also hospitalized in the accident and underwent a craniotomy, a surgery to remove part of the skull to access the brain, on Sept. 27.
“We are thankful to report that her care team shared some encouraging news, her brain pressure has gone down significantly,” her family said in the statement. “This is a powerful reminder that God’s hand is on her, guiding her healing every step of the way.”
