Keeping Tristen's focus on his recovery.

Hi all, I am Barb, Tristen's Aunt. I am trying to help Tristen as he faces, at the minimum, 2 months of being out of work. As we all know, life still goes on even when you are facing tough times. Tristen was in a motorcycle accident this past Saturday and remains at UC Hospital in SICU. Tristen unfortunately is not offered Short or Long Term Disability at his work and by being out for an extended period he is going to face some hard financial times ahead. I am sharing this in hopes of others who know and care for Tristen to step forward and pitch in if they are able. Just the cost of living and staying ahead when you do not have your income coming in is a real struggle, and one that I would love to see lightened some for Tristen so that he can focus on his health and recovery. Below is the information that his mom has shared, please read it, and if you feel you can contribute, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and God Bless each of you.

Saturday 22nd at about 11:15 pm Tristen was in a motorcycle accident.

It has been a rough few days but would like to let everyone know Tristen still has a long road ahead but is doing better every day.

Tristen is at UC Hospital and is in the SICU

⁃ Head Trauma ( After a few scans looks good on 7/23 needs NO surgery)

⁃ Has a bulge on his aorta ( had surgery on 7/23 fixed and doing well)

⁃ Broken Leg -femur (rod put in on 7/24)

⁃ Broken tibia at the ankle

⁃ Ankle broken ( x brace put in on 7/24, for now, more surgery to come once swelling goes down )

⁃ Broke many bones in his foot ( waiting on swelling)

⁃ Ventilator ( has been in since Emergency Room but breathing on his own with it, it’s just to keep him calm with all the medication he is on and painkillers) plan is for it to come out on 7/25

⁃ He answers assessment questions correctly and moves his right leg and wiggles toes on both legs

Once he is off the ventilator he will be moved out of SICU

Please keep Tristen in your prayers for a speedy recovery
