    This just puts everything into a different perspective doesn't it?

    I am a parent of a HS football player, and this is the nightmare that all parents.

    I wish him and his family the best possible outcome.......God bless him and his family.

    Update from Pops

    :bump:
    Update
    Update: And it's finally positive

    Christian is finally off the ventilator and breathing on his own. He is moving his left arm/leg and openning both eyes and looking at you (not alertly, consistently) when you talk to him. It's more of those "What the heck do you want" looks for waking him up.

    They drilled a new burr hole to relieve more pressure on the brain yesterday, but, overall, things are beginning to look up a little.

    Here's the scoop: After hospitalization (which will take ??? much longer), he's looking at about 1 year over at Charlotte Institute for Rehabiliation. The hospitalization isn't the issue. It's the fact that he has a single mom who is self-employed as a hair-dresser and she hasn't left the hospital in the past 2 weeks. She may not be able to get home more than overnight in the next 2 weeks either. Rent, food, electricity ... those are the issues (and the fact that Christian has a 5 year old little brother, staying with neighbors).

    How can you help?

    We've set up a methodology for helping his mom pay her bills. The Charlotte Pregnancy Care Center will accept donations directed to his family needs and pay the bills directly as money is available. Contributions for this may be sent to:

    Charlotte Pregnancy Care Center
    1311 East Morehead Street
    Charlotte, NC 28204

    Write "Client Fund: McClendon" in the Remarks section of the check. Checks directed to an individual client needs like this aren't tax deductable, but that's a small price to pay.

    The Center can also take donations via MasterCard/Visa. If you wish to follow this route, the contact person at the center is:

    Joanie Page, Financial Director (704) 372-5981

    Thanks everyone for all the prayers. They have worked wonders so far, but there is a LONG way to go.

    "Pops"

    While I'm sure we come across as a harsh group, I feel safe in stating that every Niner fan that post on this board, would be more than willing to help out. I know I would be happy to contribute in some form or fashion. Highpoint suggested I PM Braves with a phone #. I will do that now and suggest everyone else does the same.
