Okay everyone. My apologies for the very very long post, but this is to clarify to everyone on what happened to my beautiful baby boy.

As many of you know my beautiful baby boy Caleb Ashley was involved in a horrific atv 4 wheeler accident Saturday night. There's been alot of rumors floating around about Caleb being dead and such..

Here's the truth about the situation. Caleb and his friend Cameron M Johler organized this huge fireworks party for our neighborhood and lots of friends and family, neighborhood block party. He was so proud and happy of the great job he did organizing this event. Caleb felt like a master BBQ CHEF Saturday. He had 3 BBQ grills lined up side by side with those white fold up tables lined up in a backwards U shape. He was cooking and serving food to people all night with huge I mean huge smiles on his face. We had burgers, hot dogs, rack of ribs, boneless chicken, steak. He made sure everyone got fed. Then with over $5000 worth of fireworks that he helped fire off. Plus giving all the children rides on the 4 wheelers all night. He was the happiest person onnthe planet for a very successful night. Around 12am after alot of people left we still had probably 20 people there give or take. Caleb decides to light up our BON FIRE. This thing was 30 ft in the air. As soon as he lit this fire 🔥, he best friend from kindergarten Bradley Weslowsky begged Caleb to take him and his son Bryce on 1 last ride. Caleb said no I just lit the fire let's just sit by the fire ,drink some beer and listen to music and chillax. Bradley insisted on Caleb letting him have 1 last ride. He told Bradley that Cameron don't want anyone driving his 4 wheelers except my dad and I. SO I would have to ride with yall on it. Bradley wouldn't take NO for an answer and begged Caleb to take them. Well everyone that knows Caleb knows what a huge heart he has for his friends. He always wants to help people out. He he agreed 1 last ride, Not realizing this would be his forever last ride. My son was 4 wheeled out and just wanted to relax by the fire but his best friend insisted on 1 last ride.
Well sobthey load up with Bryce (bradleys son), Bradley, and then Caleb as a passeneger on the back. Bradley was to drive first to the stop sign at the end of rainwaters street and Brady mtn road. Then Caleb was to drive back.

Here's where it gets sketchy and weird. The official story is ruled as an ACCIDENT!!!! Caleb started driving with Bradley and Bryce (5-7year old son of bradley). Bradley stated that Caleb started driving really fast and lost control on a curve that's not even a curve on rainwaters street and hit a 4ft deep ditch. When Caleb tried to drive out of it, the 4 wheeler flipped and threw all 3 of them off of it. Bradley and Bryce landed in the ditch and when Bradley stood up he saw my son laying lifeless on rainwaters street bleeding from his ears and vomiting.
Bradley left his little boy there with Caleb and walked to my house for help. Never called 911 until we all got to the scene. Then Cameron and my daughter Samantha was the ones that called 911. Caleb had scraped down 3 hotdogs before he started the fire. Well he was throwing up when his friend Dustin that he works with at Radius got there. He asked Dustin to please sit me up, I'll be ok. Dustin said no you have blood coming from your ears and we don't know if your neck or back is broken and I could cause more damage by sitting you up. So Ashley Johler rolled Caleb over on his side so he could finish throwing up without choking to death. That's when I got to the scene. BTW. After Bradley came into the house and told me about it. He halled ass with his girlfriend and their 2 kids instead of staying with Caleb his best friend. They could have called an Uber for his girlfriend Ashley. He said he didn't want to traumatize helps son Bryce because he was crying after seeing Caleb with blood on him. How would he have seen Caleb with blood on him if Ashley left with the kiddos. Anyways remember when I said he left his son with Caleb after the wreck to go get help. That's what is going to traumatized him leaving his son by himself in the pitch black with someone that injured.

Anyways, Bradley is now gone home with his little family instead of staying with Caleb to insure he's ok. The paramedic are now on the scene. We told them that he ate 3 hotdogs 🌭 right before they left on the 4 wheeler and we showed them the 2 spots where he threw some of it up. He still had a ton of them in his body. Well with the first responders and paramedics not being suited with the right kind of equipment to check for blockages in his airways. They proceeded to put an vent tube down his throat not realizing they are sealing his fate. By inserting this tube they pushed all of his food that he was trying to throw up back down into his airways and lungs which blocked his air/oxygen flow to his brain. They worked on him for 30 to 45 minutes in the ambulance to get him stabilized enough to transport him from ambo to medflight helicopter 🚁. Then once we seen they were moving him to the medflight we took off the UAMS. THE MEDFLIGHT WAS A 15 MINUTE FLIGHT ONLY. We'll we beat the helicopter here to the er. It arrived as we were walking in. It tool us 1 hour and 20 minutes to get here and we beat them here . Which means they had more trouble getting him stabilized before they could take off. Once here we sit in the er for 2.5 hours waiting g to hear something. I finally went to the reception desk to ask and she told me to go to the nurses station to find out. They allowed out family back there and put us in a family waiting room. I thought was weird. Then they proceed to tell us that he had so.much swelling on the brain and lack of oxygen to the brain that his brain fell down onto his brain stem and killed part of his 🧠 brain.. his pour head was seollen out so bad and his eye is black and purple and swollen out about 3 inches. This information was devastating that I started hyperventilating and they admitted me in the triage to calm me down. They moved my son to the ICU H4 ON 4TH FLOOR room 4022. This is where we've been the rest of the time with him.The neurosurgeons have been running test on him all day everyday. He has NO brain function at all. His body is still alive but his brain is dead except for 1 small part of his brain and stem that is keeping his heart pumping and his kidneys working. I have nt noticed Any p**p coming out that they jad to change. So his stomach isn't working. He did have some tears coming out of his eyes. The trauma team and neurosurgeons explained to me that the impact to the back of the head was so powerful that when he landed on the center back of his skull, it cracked his skull all the way around to his left ear and that's why blood was pouring out of his left ear. Plus he has a Crack going to the right side of his head. That combined with the massive swelling and lack of oxygen to his brain for over an hour and a half while paramedics worked on him caused his brain to drop onto his brain stem. .

Now today Caleb has failed all of his brain dead test so far. They did a reflex test where they try to do different things to him and see if he will respond and nothing happened. He is officially legally clinically brain dead even though his heart is still beating strong and kidneys are working. His brain is not. His brother Colby Ashley will be here at 10am innthe morning to see him and sped some time with him. Then they will perform the last test called the cpap test. This test his lungs to see if he can breathe on his own when they turn of the oxygen from the life support and only give him air from the cpap. If he can breathe on his own then that's a great sign but if he can't then they will call our family into the room and together they will remove him with everyone in the room and call time of death.
My apologies for the long ass post but I had to put to rest all of the scrambled and wrong posted everyone had been posting. Although we appreciate everyone and their comments and everyone that has came to see Caleb here. Also bradley still hasn't called or came by to check on Caleb at all.
