During the Denver Broncos - Buffalo Bills game yesterday, Bills' Tight End Kevin Everett sustained a "catastrophic" and life-threatening spinal cord injury. The injury occurred during the second-half kickoff, when Everett tackled the Broncos' Wide Receiver Domenik Hixon high on the left shoulder with the left side of his helmet. Everett tried to stand, but fell immediately and was completely immobilized from the time he hit the ground until he was transported to the local hospital for emergency surgery. Surgeons have quoted Everett's recovery as "bleak" and "dismal", and their prognosis states that he will probably never walk again. Please keep this talented 25-year-old in your thoughts and prayers, whatever faith you may be. He has a long struggle ahead of him, but miracles can truly change people's lives as we are all aware.
Best wishes to you, Kevin Everett! May you have a productive and quick recovery that leaves all neurologists scratching their heads!!!

Hopeful news this morning on Mr. Everett - he is apparently able to move his arms and legs voluntarily - and there is minimal swelling in the spinal cord! It is being reported that he may indeed walk again. Neurologist Barth Green, who has been consulting with Everett's doctors, is describing his progress thus far as "totally spectacular, totally unexpected". We might actually be witnessing a miracle!
Thanks for the update Cricket! I have prayed for a miracle for this young man. I truly hope he will recover fully & even return to football...
