Hey all this is William Banks with another update about my dad. As of today, he is off the vasopressors! He has been able to maintain his own blood pressure. Additionally, the tracheostomy yesterday went well. He has not yet articulated his jaw, but we're hopeful to see signs of that in the near future. Additionally, an ng tube has been placed, and he is now receiving nutrients. His other injuries remain static, bleeding remains under control. The next few days, to weeks will be releveling regarding what functionality will return and what will not. Continued prayer that he is able to get off the ventilator in the next few weeks to months would be deeply appreciated. I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who has, commented, liked, shared, or donated. Your support continues be a great source of comfort for my family. I have no words to truly express how much it really does mean. We're making good progress toward our goal on go fund me, in support of my mom, going toward bills, and other vital expenses. I thank you all again. Will gofund.me/7af5e8e05

My name is William Banks, and I am Thomas's son. It is with a heavy heart that I share that yesterday, my father was involved in a serious car accident. He is currently hospitalized and in stable condition, though he has sustained severe, life-threatening injuries. At this time, I can only ask that you keep my father in your thoughts and prayers as he faces what will undoubtedly be a difficult road ahead. I also ask that you keep my mother and brother in your prayers as our family navigates this incredibly difficult time, both emotionally and financially. My father has touched many lives, and I know how much he means to so many of you. Your friendship, prayers, and support mean more to our family than I can adequately express. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. William Banks
