Please Pray for TJ!

Pro BMXer/host of MTV’s ‘The Challenge’,TJ Lavin has been hospitalized after losing control of his bike and crashing during a jump at the Dew Tours last stop in Las Vegas this past Thursday.
TJ was put in a medically-induced coma to relieve swelling on his brain from the fall and also suffered a broken wrist and broken ribs in the crash.
He is reportedly “slowly pregressing“,with ”no real drastic changes” in his condition.He was responsive when doctors performed some basic tests,says friend Chas Aday.
“They took him off sedation…yesterday morning to where he followed some simple commands and then they put him back on sedation,” Aday said. “He had an MRI yesterday that came back. They didn’t see any further brain damage or anything but there’s still some swelling there. They took him off the sedation this morning completely but he’s still unconscious.”
Aday said the “sedation’s gonna take a while to wear off” but even though he is unconscious, Lavin is making use of his limbs.
“He’s moving his extremities — he’s bending his legs and stuff — but not really following commands right now,” Aday explained. “He’s just kinda moving around like he gets irritated that he’s in there.”
TJ is also reportedly fending off a bout of pneumonia.
While recent improvements in Lavin’s condition appear promising, Aday mentioned that long-term issues with brain function won’t be immediately determined.

—Everytime I see a new article or get a new email of the latest on his condition my heart sinks.I’ve been watching TJ ride for about 11 years now.I may not know him personally but in away I feel like I do know him.I know its weird,maybe alittle creepy to say that but I know someone knows what im saying…
I watched Stephen Murray crash live in 2007 at our stop of the Dew Tour so I can relate to every person who watched TJ crash live.Its something you never want to see.An in my case Stephen will never walk again.He’ll never do the thing he loves most.That’s really sad.
I hope TJ gets better soon and he’ll be in my prayers everyday until he is better.<3
