(If you haven't heard about this yet, read up!)
OSU President E. Gordon Gee is going through a tough time right now as his son-in-law is in a coma in a hospital in Pennsylvania. His only daughter, aged 32, and her husband, were a riding Vespa scooter and were hit pretty badly by an Land Rover SUV on July 12.
(How cute are they?!?!)
Gee is in Philadelphia now to be at his daughter, Rebekah Gee, and son-in-law, Allan Moore's side. Moore is in a coma and has been since the crash, and has been listed as in serious condition. Though, as of this evening, his condition changed to critical condition, which is a bit of better news for the family.
Moore was left with head and abdominal injuries from the collision and he has been battling pneumonia as well. Rebekah has been recovering at the OSU Medical Center from broken bones and head trauma that were supposed to leave her in the hospital for at least eight weeks. Then she would still have rehab for six months after that. She was transfered here to Columbus back on Monday.
Sadly, Gee's wife passed away from breast cancer a few years back.
Rebekah and her husband were just married in 2006. The two are both specialty physicians who met as student medical residents.
So please, keep Dr. Gee, his daughter and especially his son-in-law Allan in your thoughts and prayers!
With the love of his city, school and community we can help them to get through this tough times and the more prayers they get the more healing can occur.
