NOAH BERGER: Former Centennial Lacrosse player recovering from traumatic brain injury

FROM PAGE 1 remains under investigation.)

“When his roommate told me he got hit by a car, it was immediate fear,” Denise said.

Noah was taken to DePaul Hospital in Bridgeton, Missouri. Surprisingly he had no injuries from the neck down, not even a broken bone. He did end up losing about 2/3 of his right earlobe.

“The plastic surgeon was surprised that there were no facial bone breaks at all,” Denise explained. “Unfortunately, his head took all of the trauma.” The medical staff discovered Noah was suffering from a traumatic brain injury, and he was placed into a medically induced coma while his brain heals and the swelling goes down.

At this point, the family doesn’t know how long Noah will be in the hospital. After he is released, he will head to a traumatic brain injury rehabilitation center. The family won’t have answers as to what his recovery looks like or the extent of the injury until Noah is able to come out of sedation and go through an MRI.

Currently, Noah is battling pneumonia, which has slowed down his recovery a bit. “We are

CONTRIBUTED trying to tackle that pneumonia, and then once that’s tackled we can bring him off sedation,” Denise explained.

Noah Berger is at DePaul Hospital in Bridgeton, Missouri recovering from a traumatic brain injury. He was recently moved to a bigger room to accommodate all of his visitors.

The family continues to be amazed by the outpouring of support they have received from their family and friends back home, as well as new friends and Lindenwood University administrators in Missouri and complete strangers from the lacrosse community.

As of press time, a GoFundMe page has raised over $100,000 for the family, and Noah’s CaringBridge website had been viewed more than 20,000 times.

“It’s been so overwhelming. I

can’t even count how many hundreds of texts and messages we have received,” Denise said. “(It’s just a testament) to how many lives he has touched in his short 18 years. He is just one of those amazing kids. When you meet him, you just instantly fall in love with him.”

While the community back home is supporting their other two children and the family dog, the community in Missouri is making sure they are supported

“We've always been on the opposite end of this, and it's always that feeling, ‘What can we do to help these people who are in the situation?’ and so I never ever in a million years thought that I would be on this side of it,” Denise said. “But people are amazing.”
