An 11-year-old Boy Scout is recovering after a tree fell on him this weekend as he helped with the construction of a new mountain biking trail.
Adrian Senentz remained at T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital at Erlanger on Tuesday after the Saturday incident at Enterprise South Nature Park. The accident required him to undergo an emergency lung removal. Senentz suffered several other injuries, including bruising to his brain, according to a CaringBridge page maintained by his family.
“His recovery will likely be months and hospital time measured in weeks,” the CaringBridge page said.
The Senentz family could not be reached Tuesday, and Hamilton County spokesman Mike Dunne said in a statement the family has requested privacy during the boy’s recovery.
The CaringBridge site said that, as of Monday, “it appears that the brain swelling has subsided and we will be beginning work on the fractures.”
