Heard on the news that more than $41,000 was raised tonight. Props to the fans who went to the game tonight for donating!
I think it would be a big emotional breakthrough for his family and friends to have him introduced with the game ball or half time introduction. I think photos of him on the big screen and blazers visiting him would be a good uplifting story. I would imagine more fan support and donations for his recovery would be a big step for everyone in the Blazer organization and fans. This is going to be a long recovery process for him but I think something like this would be a good boost for everyones morale.
Mediocre Man, is it possible for you to update us a little differently than the website (http://www.caringbridge.org/cb/viewHome.do) that they have up?
Down syndrome teen hit on I-5 dies of injuries http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_030209_news_teen_hit_interstate.1aeebf2d.html
Very sad. Last thing I expected to happen especially after last night. Best wishes to the family, RIP Nathan.
I'm a little bit shocked still. It sounded like the brain pressure was going down. There must have been other organ difficulties putting his body at risk. Possibly injury to his liver? I had hoped he would make it through. My thoughts and prayers to his family. They will cherish all the good things in his life and will hold onto that forever. I hope they do a moment of silence at the next home game. That would be awesome.
For all of you thinking it is a tragedy, and it is, you should take a look at how the family is viewing it. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/nathanvredevelt Great kid, who I had the pleasure of knowing
