Frustrated father of Ribault Middle School student wants answers after he says bus didn’t show up twice this weekIn this undated image provided by University of Utah Health, shows markings for preoperative planning on where to make incisions on Rudy Noorlander's leg for his free flap surgery in Salt Lake City. Noorlander was attacked by a grizzly bear on Sept. 8, 2023, south of Big Sky, Mont.
Noorlander can speak briefly, but it hurts “a little,” he said. He will need speech therapy, his surgeon, Dr. Hilary McCrary said. Davis read a statement her father wrote, thanking people for the support, love, prayers and kindness he's received from friends and strangers. Noorlander's jaw and lower lip were reconstructed during a 10-hour operation on Sept. 28 using a portion of his lower leg bone and transplanted skin, said McCrary. He also got dental implants during that surgery.
Noorlander wrote that his family and life motivated him to keep fighting and, showing his sense of humor, added “I will win Round 2,” with the bear.“Only by the hands of God am I here,” Noorlander wrote. “Believe it or not, I believe that this attack was an answer to my prayers and that potentially it could help somebody else going through something similar.”
