“Let’s start praying for our buddy. If anyone is deserving of a second chance at life, it’s this guy. He’s kind, he’s loyal, he’s funny and he’s as strong as a damn ox,” Fagiana said. “You got this Lucas and we are behind you and Nicole every step of the way.”
Nicole was rushed to Fort Sanders for a head CT and x-rays. While Lucas sustained serious injuries to his head and was admitted to the Transplant Intensive Care Unit at the UT Medical Center for treatment. Lucas was placed in a medically induced coma. Soon after, he was being weaned off the paralytic but was still kept sedated.
His wife Nicole sustained minor injuries in comparison to her husband Lucas. She was rallying behind him and supporting every aspect of his recovery. Their friends set up a GoFundMe page to help the couple with their medical expenses.
They set up a goal of $100,000 of which over $93,000 was raised. Nicole thanked everyone who donated and helped them out, and even those who are praying for the young couple’s recovery.
