Thoughts and prayers please!
On Friday I got a frantic phone call from one of my former parents ... her oldest (16 ... I had their youngest, 5, last year in school and we had Michael when he was young too) had an accident at school that resulted in a head trauma. Long story short he was messing around with friends on the basketball court, jumped off a friends back to make a slam dunk (he's 6'2 so it's not like he needed the "spring board") and fell and hit his head. It resulted in a massive head trauma. They almost lost him Friday night/Saturday morning (he hemorraged and they rushed him in to emergency surgery). They currently have him in a medically induced coma just trying to let his brain heal.
Please if you are so inclined, say a prayer, send good thoughts, etc to Michael. He really is a great kid!! It's breaking my heart to see his family go through this. At this point he's stable but no one knows if there is long term damage.
Thanks!

OMG, I know EXACTLY what they are going through and my heart goes out to them.
My brother had a similiar accident in high school. He was pole volting at a track meet and missed the landing mat and landed on the cement on his head.
Completely fractured his skull and was in a coma. For 3-4 days we had no idea if he'd live. And then when he woke up, we had no idea the long term damage.
how scary and terrible. I really feel for them. Its an absolutely horrible thing to go through as a family.
prayers. I'd have to say this is one of those mothers worst nightmare stories.
