We spent some time on this here at the house(own son is about the same age). Seems like he was truly a good person. Also seems like some get the chance to do things again, like this would be a "fenderbender" and a good chewing out and the cost of repairs. What do you say? What can you say. Doctors have been wrong before, I hope this kid recovers. Man, so much can change in seconds.....
I wish him the best. It's hard losing anyone, but when it's a child it's much tougher. God bless him and his family.

The 2nd and 3rd opinions are looking pretty decent guys. One doc in C'ville believes he can have a full recovery. The family was going to pull the plug a few days ago without getting a 2nd opinion. Some of their friends talked them into it and things are looking up. They will be moving Rick to C'ville to be closer to the experts now.
Not to dog anyone out, but Ive heard some real horror stories when it comes to Holston Valley. If you have to go to the hospital in Kingsport, you def wanna go to Indian Path.
As for Rick, they poked him in the foot with a pen yesterday and he didnt like that too much. He got a little fired up. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Not bad for someone thats supposedly braindead.
I personally wouldn't got to IP. HV generally is much better IMO. I just think that this seems to be a bad situation. Our family members have been treated horribly at IP, and received much better healthcare from HV.
