Keeping Cody in our Thoughts and Prayers

My fragile younger brother is in the hospital. He was playing in his football game yesterday, was wide open and caught a beautiful pass then got knocked out. He was hit so hard the ball flew out of his arms about 40 feet. After complaining about difficulty breathing the school's athletic trainers decided he needed to go to the hospital. After a few hours in the ER, the hospital ruled out any broken ribs, etc...and released him. He went home to find blood in his urine so they returned to the ER and did a CT scan. After the results, they admitted him with a ruptured Spleen, a pocket of blood in his Kidney, and a fractured rib. Can you believe it? Poor thing. This has not been his year...injury, after injury. My 5'7'', 125 lb. brother is just too fragile. They are keeping an eye on him and his vitals for the next few days in the hospital. They would take a ruptured Spleen out of an adult, but for someone his age, they would rather keep it in if they can because it helps fight infections. We love our Cody so much and are so proud of him. He ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS stands up for what he knows to be right. He never wavers in his standards and everything is black and white in his world. He's such a great kid. Just wanted him to know he is in our thoughts and prayers and ask all of you, our friends, to also keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.
