Demetrius

Hey, folks.

Demetrius Thomas is a good friend of mine, and has been a part of Tecumseh! for a number of years. The last couple of years, he has played the lead / title character, and was set to do so this year as well. In '06, Jen and I had three ceremonies; the first was on the Tecumseh! stage, and Dee was my best man that evening.

A few nights ago, Dee was in a major car accident. I'm getting my information 3rd or 4th hand, so I know very little for sure. I know he was flown to Columbus, and there was some head trauma. There was some swelling of the brain. Apparently he's been through some surgery, and the swelling seems to have gone down at least a bit. I was told he's in critical but stable condition.

But there's still a lot I don't know. I don't know the extent of the damage, and that has me worried.

I don't know if you pray or not. But Dee is one of the good guys, and I ask that you pray now. Thank you.

Hey Peter,
I spoke to his uncle yesterday and he said the swelling's started to go down. It's a step in the right direction, anyway. I'm trying to keep everyone updated as I find out new things, so please feel free to call me anytime. My number's 304-634-3961.

Love to you and Jenny.

Adam Burke said he saw him today, and he's responding to stimuli - a good sign. Still unconscious, though. I'll be at the run thru Wed night.
