As most of you know about T.C. Long boarding accident I still felt the need to post this.
TC Rogers fell of his long board with friends on March 31, 2008. He fell and fractured his skull. He was unconscious after the injury. TC was transported to UMC after the accident.
When TC got to the hospital, he was rushed into the emergency room. He was talking and responsive. He was then put under to limit further damage. His skull was found to be fractured, almost from one side of his head to the other.
TC was brought into surgery 3 or 4 hours after the accident. The doctor removed part of his skull to relieve pressure and check on how bad the bleeding was. The surgery was completed successfully.
Since then... He has under went a another surgery in concerns of a blood clot. The surgery went successfully. But as of Tuesday morning the Dr. were not seeing the results that were needed to be seen for TC's recovery. Tuesday night the Stake Presidency came along with our Amazing Bishop to give T.C. a blessing. As soon as they walked in my heart rested a moment as i know those men have such healing hands. Natalee and I were there amongst about 35 other friends of T.C's in the waiting room. His family was generous enough to let us go in and see him 2 by 2. So hand in hand Natalee and i walked through the ICU doors promising each other we would not cry. We did good! He looked good color and all. The Rogers Family has so much love and support around them. There sons name is in temples all accrost the United States.
Yesterday T.C. Brain Pressure went from a 30 to a 25 which is so wonderful. We are hoping it will gradually continue to decrease. So we can have or T.C. back.
It has been such a trying week and i know the weeks ahead will be difficult but i see the Lord hands working in this trial. As a ward we all have been fasting and praying for T.C.'s recovery. Many of us have had long conversations of fun times we have had with T.C. a few of mine are as follows.
T.C. and his RED TIGHTS
So last year T.C. was asked to be a lobster in our Ward Roadshow. So T.C. asked around for a pair of red pants. Well i came through with something better!!! Red Leggings more like spandex or tights. He pranced around on stage like it was no big deal. T.C. has such a light about him that is hard not to see. I love you T.C. i know you will pull through this as you are such a fighter.
Buying a Car with T.C.
Recently i had to purchase a new car as my current one had broke down. I had been getting rides for about a month and then found out i need to purchase a new car. My roommate Mindy had the BRIGHT idea to send T.C. with me... I was like ok. So we went to the car dealer and drove the car that i liked. Then when we got out of the car T.C. pulled me aside and said i might have to be a little mean to get my point acrosst as we know your budget. So i told him "don't be mad if i have to walk away for a moment because you might embarrass me." Well we left the dealership 30 minutes later with NO car. I cried all the way home. T.C. kept telling me we will find you something better. Then the phone rang and i was so upset i could barley talk it was the DEALERSHIP!!! Telling me they decided to except my offer. T.C. kept telling me "Talk them Down Talk them Down." Leave it up to T.C. So now every time i get in my car i think of him and how much i want him to get better so i can tell him how much he means to me.
If you know me at all you should know i love to give hugs and Sunday i didn't give him a hug so DARN IT he needs to get better so i can hug him again. He has strengthened my Testimony in more ways than one and i want to be able to tell him that.
Rogers Family I LOVE YOU! And you are in my every thought and prayer.

That's a sweet post. Thanks for sharing.
Nitosha - That is so sweet. Thanks for your thoughts and stories. TC and his family have been on my mind and in every single one of my prayers since Monday night. There are so many fun memories of TC. Remember when he helped you move….we laughed and had a great time. One thing I love about TC is he is always willing to help somebody out even if it inconveniences him in any way. Also remember all the game nights at his house…especially when he had game night at the JW Marriott? Thanks to TC for making us officially met each other and have a long lasting friendship. He has been a great example to many people. I know for you and I he has had a great impact in our lives. He is such a sweet and fun person to be around. TC and the Roger family are in our thoughts and prayers at all times. Keep your head up! We are all here for TC and each other. Love you. XOXO!
