Can't make the meet
« on: May 25, 2011, 05:22:14 PM »
Count me out guys.  My son was the victim of a gunshot wound to the face last weekend and I had to fly to Ohio  to be by his side. He was lucky and will survive but he has 18 months of reconstructive surgery ahead of him. I will be moving to Ohio for a few months to take care of him.

Sorry to hear that, we were looking forward to finally meeting you.

Best of wishes to your son on a speedy recovery.

How horrendous! I'm so sorry to hear such tragic news.

My daughter's friend suffered a brain injury from a fall two weeks ago and is just now responding to cues.

Prayers to all involved. May you all find strength during this difficult time.

Let us know his progress and stay strong.

Thank you all for your kind words and support. He just came out of his 2nd surgery last night. Luckily, the bullet missed his brain and his eye. His jaw, orbital socket and cheekbones had to be replaced with titanium plates. His jaw will be wired shut for 2 months and after then he will need bone graphs from his hips.  He has an 18 month recovery ahead of him but luckily he has not experienced any brain damage or loss of mobility to any other parts of his body.  Thank you all so very much for your support.

Thank you all for your prayers and support.  Alex was released from the hospital on Friday and is now back in his apartment.  He has 4 weeks of therapy and then some more surgeries.  Although he did not lose his sight, the eye socket was shattered and the eye is not sittingg in the reconstructed socket properly. He will need many more surgeries to rebuild his lower jaw and place his eye back into its proper location.  It's a miracle he is still alive and the damage was not worse. Your prayers and wishes have helped.  Thank you.
