Please keep this TKE in your Prayers

[penguintpa_lady]

This past Saturday, the TKEs here held RCB, & they had a severe accident accure. I'm unsure how it happened, all I know is that around 2am a brother fell from a 2 story building & landed on his head. When his brother's first got to him, he had no pluse.But, through mouth to mouth and CPR, 2 of them brought him back. When the ambulance got to the hotel they took him to the ER and then life flighted him to UK medical hospital in Lexington.He had to have surgery to stop internal bleeding and made it through. His eye is completely black and the orbit that hold the eye is completely shattered. But, with the power of prayer and everyone keeping him in their thoughts...is is drastically improving each and every minute. :0)As of last night at midnight he was seeing out of his eye and writing notes on a tablet to say what he wanted.If things are going as good as they have been...doctor's hope that all he'll get out of this is a torn colon that caused the internal bleeding, which has already been taken care of.
As I write his I recieve another update as of this afternoon: He is off of life support, sitting up and talking.
I just ask that you guys keep this young man in your thought, he is a great guy & a wonderful addition to TKE.

I will pray he continues to do well. That will be a RCB no one will ever forget.

As one Greek Brother, I have this young man in my prayers and hope he continues to improve.

I really is sobering when someone you know is in a situation such as this and really brings home the asspect of being careful!

May he get totally better and come back to be an outstanding member of TKE!

Interfraternally Yours,

Well he is doing a lot better. They said yesterday that he was talking a lot more, & was up walkinga around a little. They are still unsure about his eye, but his head is back to normal size. htey have in a step down room & he maybe home this Saturday. his memory is really bad he does not rememeber talking to alot of those who have called.

[The1calledTKE]

Did anyone ever determine why he feel? Was he goofing off or just lost his balance?

i have not heard anything else. far as i know he may come home saturday. & yes, i finally did find out what happened. a couple of hte brothers were racing hte luggage carts though the hall. & he was standign against the railing & when they came by he jumpped on the railing to get out of the way. & lost his balance . he was able to hold on for a little bit but not very long.

Jumped on a railing? I would rather get hit by the carts but oh well ... it was a spur of the moment thing.

just thought i would let u guys know that i finally got a chance to go up & see him myself today. before we went to see him the doctors talked like they had changed thier minds & were going to make him stay for a few more days.he was looked alot better then what i had expected. he is finally able to open his eye but he says he still can not see very well out of it. when we got there we found out that they decide that he could go home. sounds like this TKE house is going to be quiet fro a little while. cause he decided to go back there instead of going home.he's loking really good

[The1calledTKE]

Glad everything is going well with him.
