As most of you are aware, Thomas Williams (my brother), also known as Skillet, Big T, TDog, TW, TDub, TWill, and so many more nicknames, had a bad fall on Easter morning. We were planning to meet at our aunt’s house to have a big feast, but his life has been changed ever since. We do not know exactly how he fell, but he hit his head extremely hard, which caused severe bleeding in the brain. The doctors have been watching and analyzing him for weeks as they continued to drain the fluids and blood.
Thomas has been in the Vanderbilt Neurology – ICU floor ever since that morning. He had some good days and some not-so-good days, as he was still being treated for kidney failure and getting dialysis 3 days a week. After weeks and weeks of draining the fluids, the doctors eventually inserted a permanent shunt that will drain from his brain to his stomach.
Thomas was on the verge of being discharged and transferred to Stallworth Rehab Facility (just a week ago), but the doctors believe he had some seizures because he was very confused, disoriented, and speaking gibberish. They ran more tests and MRIs, and they are still analyzing the results. They also believe he has a bacterial infection that they are treating.
Thomas is loved and admired by so many friends and family, and he knows that you ALL love, care, and are praying for him. Your comments, thoughts, texts, checking in on him, and most importantly, prayers have been so comforting to me and my wife. I want to thank each one of you for your continued support and prayers.
As you know, Thomas is a real estate agent and without selling houses, his income dries up, but the bills do not stop coming. I want to ask you from the bottom of my heart to help Thomas with his medical bills, so we can support him through this difficult time. We all know he is ready to sit at your table, joke around, and eat fried chicken, pork chops, and biscuits.
THANK YOU! God bless each and every one of you!
Thomas’ brother, Jason Williams
