Leonard and Michelle rushed him to the hospital, where he remains unresponsive. His brain is swollen, and his prognosis doesn't look good.
ACCIDENTS happen. Even to the very best parents.)
My mom and brother Frank arrived last night, we got the phone call from Leonard about 1/2 an hour later. My mom was able to book a flight out at 7am to CA, to be with them. Leonard's best friend JJ drove all night from Phoenix to San Jose (area) to be with them, and we are getting updates from him as things progress.
Please pray for them. And continue to pray for Chris. He is stable right now. However his liver is not working yet. When they reduce his pain med he is able to respond with hand squeezes, and he gave a nurse a Thumbs Up. He is no where out of the woods yet, he will be in the hospital for a long time, and there is still a very real possibility that he won't recover.
Both families really need all the prayers and GOOD energies you can send them. We all need the strength to get thru the days ahead.
Christina wrote a beautiful poem as a tribute to her dad:
Growing in Life You live everyday in the presence of yourself Not realizing that the choices you make, could affect somebody else. Those choices you make could hurt your best friend, But you shouldn't let that stop you, in the end There are days when our world is flipped around and we don't know which way is right or wrong, let alone up or down. At times you have those days when your lost and confused, And feel like falling to the floor, because you don't know what to do Some days you feel like your world is coming to a crash, but then that's when you must stop, and take a step back. That will be the day when you come to realize where you stand and not everything will be an "I will try", but an "I can." At the end of the day when the battle was lost and the war was won the only thing that matters is what you have gained and have become. The next day you will realize what life is truly about, not to find yourself, but to create yourself. by: Christina Ayers
