Sorry......my bad.

A lion Needs PRAYER!!!

(May 24th)
Sophomore Josh Hernandez was injured in a one vehicle accident early this morning. He is in Hendricks Hospital in Abilene. Coach Wilson told me that Josh has a punctured lung and a completely severed spinal cord which leads to no feeling or movement in the lower body. He will undergo surgery tomorrow morning to try and repair as much as they can. This family could use your support and prayers at this very difficult time!

(May 29th)
I spoke with Josh's aunt just a bit ago and things took a downward turn last night. According to her, the doctor's told them that his lungs were "over-stressed" causing lots of stress for his entire body. They had to sedate him more heavily than they had been doing. Her words were that he is in a medicine induced coma-type state for now. The doctors have said that his entire body has to rest so that it can fight to heal !!! So, at this time, PRAY!!! This was a big turn for them because they had planned to let him slowly "wake up" last night and today. The doctor's have recommended no visitors outside of family at this time. She did want to express the families thankfulness for all the prayers, visits, etc. If someone wants to stop by and see the family, that is welcomed! I will update you as I have more information!

Prayers from Germany. I hope the young man pulls through. The worry his parents must be going through. Very sad.

[BEAST]

This is very sad deal. He was going to be a big part of the defensive line this upcoming year. However, that means nothing. This young man is fighting for his life.

I will put him on my prayer chains. I have them all over the state due to my daughter going through a bone marrow transplant last year and several months at MD Anderson (she was an all atate athlete). PRAYER was the most wonderful thing ..I cannot begin to tell you but we could literally FEEL it.

May God wrap his arms around you and strenthen you and our prayers will be for a complete recovery and for peace and understanding of God's plan in your life. I send you my love and PRAYERS.

Here is the latest update as of about 6:30 this evening. The doctors met with the family today and said that Josh's recovery was going to be a very long road. They said that there may be several days were it appears that nothing is changing and then a day when there may be a small improvement noted. He is still completely sedated to allow his body to rest and try to recover. He can not have flowers or balloon in his room, but they are putting cards up in his hospital room.

There is an account at Citizens Bank for any donations that people chose to make.

On Thursday, the Youth Fair folks, along with Kohler, will have a brisket plate luncheon beginning at 10:00 A.M. to benefit the family. This will be held at the fair grounds. There is a possible fund raiser being worked on at Bruners on Friday--sausage wraps, etc. This is still in the works and I will post more info as I have it.

The Cowboy Church is having a silent auction on Sunday to help out as well.

I will post more as I get more information.

Glen Rose sends their prayers. My son went thru that last year. He went head on with a tree. He hit the tree so hard the tool box that was bolted on broke the rear window and and flew out the back. He had to be cut out of the truck and then was air lifted to Harris Methodist in Fort Worth. Luckily the only major injury was his ankle was shattered. It took 8 months of rehab. but he is fine now and playing ball again. if you had seen the truck you would be suprised that was all his injuries. The cab was only 18 inches wide from windshield to back window.God helped us thru, and I know he will do the same for Josh.

God bless this family. Thank you for the update. Did I see that his spinal cord was severed in an earlier post?
My heart aches for them and I pray that God will strengthen his body and comfort their hearts and let his presense be felt. Please everyone.....PRAY everytime you think of this.

I am sending a special prayer to this young man and his family. We don't always know what God's plan is for us, but if we call on His name He does hear it. I'm praying He will show His miraculous mercy on him and his family.

[Pirate Mom]

Those of us in the LaVega Pirate family know all too well what these guys are going through. One of our O-line kids was in a single car accident this spring and almost severed his spinal cord. We asked for prayers for him then and the outpouring from everyone was wonderful. He is still working on recovery and it is VERY slow, but we saw him last night and are so thankful that he is still with us and has a life to live. We will lift Josh and his family up in our prayers...it will be a LONG road with lots of bumps, but we trust that God knows what is best and will be working in this young man's life.
