Lake Forest Officer Back

Officer Czarnecki was flown back to Illinois and is currently undergoing treatment locally:

• A family says they are grateful for the community’s donations, which allowed a Lake Forest police officer to return to Chicago on Tuesday on a medical flight after being critically injured on vacation in Nicaragua.

  The family of Lake Forest Police Officer Filip Czarnecki told Lake and McHenry County Scanner in a statement that they were “deeply grateful” to announce that Czarnecki was coming home Tuesday evening.

  The medical evacuation flight took off from Managua, Nicaragua, around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday and landed at Chicago Midway International Airport around 7 p.m.

One report says he's already showing marked improvement, perhaps due to the treatment or perhaps being closer to family and friends and the support they're giving him.

Continued prayers for his recovery efforts.
