Friday, September 18, Accident

As some of you may have heard, Tony Miely was in a horrific accident on Friday, September 18, 2009.
A large ATV was rolled and crushed Tony's right hand and severed it from his arm.
He was sent by ambulance to Mercy Medical Center where he was treated in the Emergency room and then flown to Denver, where he is now receiving treatment at Denver Health.
Tony began surgery around 3:30 am on Friday Night/Saturday Morning and did not get out of surgery until 6:00 pm on Saturday. After a 13 hour + surgery, skin graphing, complete hand reconstruction and the re-building of his right hand, there was hope for Tony to have 3 operable fingers.
As Sunday rolled around the blood flow was not moving to his fingers and he was forced to go into another surgery. This second surgery was approximately 8 hours and has taken its toll on Tony's physical health and there still is not much new news or progress on possible amputation or the use of his three middle fingers.
We are creating this blog to keep all of Tony's friends and family informed as to the progress of his surgeries.

Tony's wife, Tina Miely and his parents Patti and Ken are all with him in Denver.
He has a huge support group of family and friends cheering him on and keeping his spirits high.

We are working on creating a Benefit Fund account for Tony and will keep everyone posted on how they can help.

In the meantime please keep him in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy and healthy recovery.
