A Catholic priest and Ambassador Doug Kmiec are still being treated for their injuries suffered in an Aug. 25 car accident. The priest, 94, is in critical condition, while Kmiec has undergone surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.
Doctors at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center have treated Msgr. John Sheridan, the 94-year-old pastor emeritus of Our Lady of Malibu Church, for several broken ribs and are observing him for signs of infection or pneumonia, Archbishop of Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony reported.
Kmiec, 58, also underwent surgery at Ronald Reagan UCLA and should be released within a week, a Pepperdine University spokesman said according to the Malibu Times. His wife Carol has visited him daily.
A Pepperdine University law professor, Kmiec is currently serving as U.S. ambassador to Malta.
