Hello everyone, my name is Alex Thomas. I work with Kody at Wave and have booked and played with various bands he has performed with over the years.
Sometime over last weekend, Kody experienced a medical emergency. A mutual friend called me on Sunday and alerted me to the fact that several people hadn't heard from him since Thursday night. I knew that Kody had moved to an apartment complex, but I wasn't sure of his apartment number. I headed to the apartment and told another mutual friend to contact his mom. Upon arrival at Kody's apartment, I saw his vehicle, and shortly after, his mom arrived followed by Christy. After knocking on the door and getting no response, we called the apartment complex and police. Upon entering his apartment, we found Kody disoriented, scraped up, and bruised badly, unaware of what happened. EMS arrived and assessed he needed to go to the emergency room with several concerning vital signs.
It was determined that Kody had an aneurysm rupture. They did surgery to clip off the aneurysm to stop the bleed. It was an invasive 4-hour procedure, but it went well! He has a drain tube in his head and may have to have temporary dialysis as well for his kidneys. He’s not in great shape, but this surgery going well is a HUGE plus. He’ll be in the hospital for at least two weeks recovering and watched to see what types of side effects the bleed may have. We’re hopeful that his confusion was due to the active bleed and pressure. Hopefully, now that the bleed is cleaned out and pressure alleviated, he’ll wake up fully Kody. He needs lots of thoughts, prayers, and positive vibes. He’s over the biggest hump but still has a long road.
Sadly, Kody's insurance had lapsed due to a banking error, so this is of course going to rack up some major bills. Please give what you can.
