Brooklyn musician survived
tumbling off a balcony in Chelsea and impaling his
head on a steel fence Saturday night.
The young Brooklyn musician whose head
was impaled on a steel fence after he fell
from a balcony finally was able to sleep
Sunday - a day after surviving the bizarre
accident, his mother said.
Nicholas Blossom, 26, a rock drummer who
lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was cut
away from the fence by rescue workers
early Saturday morning after plummeting
from a Chelsea balcony during a party.
Surgeons at Bellevue Hospital removed the
rod that was still stuck in his head.
"Yesterday, they did not want him to go to
sleep, so he was in a lot of pain, but they
upped his medication today because they
decided he'd improved enough that he can
sleep today," said his mother, Emily
Blossom, from her home in Berkeley, Calif.
"He'll be in the ICU for a week."
She said her husband, Eric, who flew to
New York immediately after the incident,
holds the phone up to Nicholas' ear,
allowing them to have short conversations.
Nicholas was in stable condition Sunday in
Bellevue's intensive care unit.
"It's hard, but we have been really
impressed with the care he's been getting
in New York City. People have really been
there for him," his mother said.
