<div>Hi loves -
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With a heavy heart I need to update you on bad news. Three days ago our sweet Alex Moore (aka Oliver Riot) fell from the top floor balcony of my 4 story apartment building all the way down to the very bottom concrete pavement below.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ll go over all of his broken and shattered bones closer to the end of this message, so we can all be fully informed together. This is Ben by the way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alex was trying to do me a favor cleaning my balcony and leaned against a guard rail that broke off, leading him to plummet down to the concrete below. For context our cousin Trevor died falling from 2 stories, and over half of 3 story falls Doctors see lead to death on site. Alex fell a horrible 4 stories down to pavement
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>If you’ve ever been touched by Alex, please please consider donating small or big - anything helps (read on for more). </strong>
</div>
<div><strong>He will likely be unable to work and will be in a wheelchair unable to pay his mortgage / hospital bills / living bills for 6 months - 1 year. Which puts him in danger of losing his new home.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doctors are hoping Alex will be able to walk in six months, after potentially needing to relearn how to walk in physical therapy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is not eligible for disability because he is self employed. We aren’t sure how much the medical bills are going to be for so so many emergency surgeries he is having, but we know we already can’t afford the deductible. And as mentioned he has a full LA monthly mortgage he is in danger of losing (the home where he and Kailey are getting married in the backyard)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doctors are saying they’re shocked Alex didn’t die. And on top of that, the fact that Alex is alive, but not paralyzed or brain dead. Because it’s so rare to not become paralyzed or severely brain damaged from a fall of that height, if you do survive the fall at all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alex was devastated to hear he won’t be able to be mobile since he has such an active lifestyle. Most of his income is made through physically using his body a lot.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As of now only 1 limb in his body is NOT broken/shattered. The doctors say he will need lotttss of seperated surgeries over weeks with specialists for each individual limb to be operated on independently. As it’s too much to do all the bones in one surgery. And has a very long and extremely painful recovery ahead. He just got out of surgery #2 now and has 2 more this week alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here’s Alex’s broken or shattered bones doctors have discovered so far. Feel free to skip to last paragraph below if too hard to read:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Left ankle: Broken. Right ankle: Broken/Shattered. When paramedics found Alex laying on the concrete. This ankle was also twisted facing backwards of where it should be
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Heel: Broken. This broken heel is attached to the same foot as broken right ankle
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tibia bone (aka shin): Shattered in left leg, which is then connecting up to shattered knee cap
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Left knee cap: Shattered. Knee cap also twisted wrong direction, where they found the main knee bone had broken and protruded through Alex skin. Patellar tendon is snapped.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Separate other knee bones are dislocated and they are “swimming” in too many places. So sadly doctors are trying to salvage and re-piece these broken knee pieces together. But are saying there’s too many breaks in the knee so can only salvage some, and they have already thrown out bones they can’t re piece together due to such high impact knee shatter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If the 4-5 surgeries on just his knee alone do not work, we will need to do a full knee replacement. He’s had 1 of the 4-5 and just finished the second one. The first one they put rods and pins directly into his bones in the photo above - which they tell me &amp; Kailey to lift his leg from - which is very weird.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Femur: Open fracture of femur (main big thigh bone) is broken, and is protruding cutting out of the skin
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Broken right wrist. Below broken right wrist, his right hand bones are shattered as well
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doctors originally wondered if alex has a broken collar bone as well - but turns out to be a different bone located near trapezoid, after they x rayed and cat scanned to find the break there
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Vertabrae fracture in his back, spine
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alex has been urinating out a LOT of blood - doctors think it may be trauma to the urethra.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Doctors suspect he will likely be in chronic pain for the rest of his life in certain bones, because they say after these specific bones heal, they often see patients where pain still stays permanent in this type of left leg and heel shatter..</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are feeling disappointed bc we we were hoping all surgeries would be done in one time of going under. But the doctors say he will need 6+ more surgeries, “it all just depends” because there’s too many bones in his body are broken that need expert repair. They understandably are unable to give us any promises.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please pray for his healing, and that after healing he doesn’t have residual chronic pain for the rest of his life in the bones mentioned above.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Please please consider donating to our sweet Alex </strong>during this horrible time, so he can keep his mortgage, pay his medical bills, and survive as he is unable to work as an independent worker, who literally survives off of teaching guitar to kids with autism / recording Oliver Riot / church gigs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In times like this we rely on one another. <strong>Alex never asks for help. </strong>He almost died helping me, trying to surprise me by cleaning my balcony. This time - he really needs your help. I’m writing this with tears in my eyes, trying to keep them away, as I look at his sweet face lying in his hospital bed in anguishing pain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We love you and <strong>Alex loves you</strong>. Please consider helping my best friend and the love of my life,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ben
</div>
