A week ago today my youngest son, JARED, center for the DANIEL BOONE H.S. football team, was blind sided, hit from behind, and received a severe Whiplash injury...
Lying still on the field, face down, for about 15 minutes, all the while being attended to by a capable trainer, an orthopedic doctor, and several adept EMTs, Jared was then transported to The READING HOSPITAL TRAUMA UNIT...
My wife and I were VERY FEARFUL PARENTS...BUT...
Hindsight reveals that, from the first moment of being injured, He was constantly surrounded by caring coaches, loving teammates, and hundreds of THE BOONE FAMILY quietly praying concerned fans, including school administrators...
Jared spent Friday night and all day Saturday being checked out thoroughly by hospital personnel until his release around 11:00 PM Saturday...
He remains in much pain, but c-scans and MRIs indicate no apparent serious spine or neck damage...For this we are thankful...!!!
In the short space of this blog I can’t explain all the wonderful and loving responses we received through every possible channel...i.e. Facebook, telephone, Twitter, personal visit, instagram, etc...
A great way to summarize last weekend is to quote from Jared himself, “I CAN FEEL ALL THE PRAYERS”...Through all the excitement, worry, pain, sadness, and tears there was a QUIET PEACE...
When there is someone who is injured in Christ’s Body, THE CHURCH, the rest of Christ’s body ‘rushes’ to heal..
THIS I BELIEVE AND HAVE SEEN WITH MY OWN EYES...IT IS WONDERFUL TO BEHOLD...!!!
THANKS FOR ALL THE PRAYERS AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...!!!
