Please pray, think good thoughts, whatever you do, please do it..

Update: I just got back from the hospital, and was not able to see him. Because they don't want too much stimulation in the room, they are only allowing his parents in and they have occasionally allowed the youth pastor in as well. They are saying that medically they have done all that they can for him, and that while the swelling is decreasing rather rapidly, he still only has a slim chance. They are giving it 72 hours or so before they suspect they will be able to say the extent of his injuries. This kid is in need of a miracle right now. Medically, there is nothing else that can be done. That is his only chance at the moment. I am not going to class tonight because we are having a prayer service for him at church, and since I work so closely with the youth, I'm going to go be with the kids.

As for the other player, he was taken to the emergency room, but was released quickly, so praise God it's not both of them that are so critically injured.

Shellie, I'm not sure what the name of the surgery they did is, but all they did was put a tube in to drain the fluid and help reduce the swelling and pressure in his brain. He is in some of the best human hands he can be in, as definitley in the best spiritual ones as well.

Hope he gets better! I will be sending good vibes!
