Lucas Malik had a bicycle accident on Friday September 23, 2005. He was rushed to the emergency room. Test results showed a blood clot in the brain that required brain surgery. The surgery began about 11:00 p.m. and lasted until 4:00 a.m. The hospital waiting room was filled with many of Luke's friends and their parents in addition to extended family members. All were in prayer for a successful surgery. Saturday was a tense day as we all waited to hear how Lucas was progressing. A CAT scan was done on Saturday night that showed a bit of bleeding.

On Sunday a.m. it became evident that there was more bleeding in the brain and another surgery was necessary. This surgery began at 11:00 a.m. and lasted until 3:00 p.m. All weekend many people came to support the family and offer their prayers.

The first 24 hours are very critical after brain surgery. We watched and waited and Lucas did well. He also passed the "three day" mark. At some point he had a bit of infection and was started on anti-biotics to ward of lung infections.
