I doubt that his med bills are being covered by LSU.

So this is obviously just a prayer thread only for Tahj? Good luck to him, but it looks like I'll have to search other web sources to try and find out how he's really doing.


start A new thread if you find out anything, read a little about it in the paper this morning. Details are pretty vague.

I talked to Tahj's former high school team mate this morning. He said he talked to Tahj yesterday on the phone. Said he was going to be okay.

On a light note, he said "he was shot by a former lsu player over some kitty cat".

I haven't gotten an update today, but the first night he was given 35% chance overnight.

Pierced aorta. That's second hand info, so not exactly sure how true that may be.

His medical bills should be, if he is still enrolled, as the article suggests.

I hope this accurate but this completely contradicts what the hospital and news outlets are reporting.

If you are a student at Lsu they pay for all your medical bills? That's sweet

I was going for the "athlete at LSU" angle.

All depends on if he is still enrolled at school

If not, LSU cannot help with bills

Does not mean that donors cannot funnel money to Miles to help him for a PR boost.

He was talking on the phone right after surgery for a pierced aorta?

I could be wrong but I would doubt it that Tahj was talking on the phone yesterday.

As with any open wound, you have to worry about infection, and a hospital is the worst place to be.

Everyone should just keep praying that he continues to improve and there are no setbacks.

Why do you say that? I would assume the complete opposite since hospitals are supposed to be sterile.

Also, keep strong Tahj

I work in healthcare. Hospitals are cesspools.

Operating rooms are as sterile as you're going to get. Everywhere else, germs are rampant, from sick patients, outside visitors, etc.
