    Please pray, think good thoughts, whatever you do, please do it..
    Hey guys, I know this is completely unrelated to snakes, lizards, whatever, but over my short time here I've felt like this place and the people here really care about each other and what goes on in their lives.. Anyways, because of that, I am asking for prayers, good wishes, whatever it is that you do in a time of need.. I work with the youth at my church, and one of our kids was injured tonight during a soccer game.. He was lifeflighted to the hospital and he is currently in emergency surgery because he has swelling in his brain, and they are trying to relieve the pressure.. He is 14 and an awesome young man.. I'd really appreciate it.. I know not everyone has faith and prays, but anything is welcome!

    I hope he recovers well. The brain is an incredible organ that is more resilient than we think.

    Thanks so much.. I am such a believer in prayer chains.. I'm really proud of how the rest of the kids have rallied together sending updates, prayed, and lifted each other up.. They are a tight knit group of kids, and they're taking this really hard.. I'm going to the hospital tomorrow.. I doubt I'll be able to see him, but hopefully I'll find some good news out.

    Me, too.. I don't know much about anything medical, but they originally thought he broke his neck, but he didn't and just has the brain swelling, and my dad said between the two, he has a better chance of full reovery with the brain swelling because had he broken his neck, he had the chance of being paralyzed.. It's all greek to me, lol, but he is in good hands at the best trauma hospital in the city and while I know it's all in God's hands, I still hope it's His will to bring him through to a full recovery.

    Brain swelling is a very scary thing, but doctors these days are incredible.. I'm sure he is in very capable hands, both spiritually and physically! <3 He's got a lot of people sending him a lot of love and well wishes! I am praying for his family as well, hospitals will always be scary.
