Praying for Patrick

I just got done from crying. I watched this video from KY3.com to see what was said about Patrick. Patrick Clegg is a sixteen year old junior at Waynesville High, the school that I am from. On Tuesday night, a freak accident happened. Patrick was playing the sport he loved, baseball. They had a game against Lebanon. The pitcher through a pitch that was going to hit him so he did what he was told to do; spin around. He spun around hoping the ball would hit him in the helmet or his back. It did the unthinkable. It hit him in that inch under his helmet and before his back. It got him in the neck, striking his brain stem. He instantly collapsed and the helicopter took him to St.Johns here in Springfield. Things are not looking good at all. They put him in an induced coma and is now on life support. They pulled the plug yesterday for about ten minutes to see if his brain or lungs had any response. His diaphragm moved but they realized that he had only ten percent of his brain cells left. He is now back on life support and he looks bad. People who saw him said that he can't even close his eyes. I was told today that they are thinking about taking him off life support today. If he does pull through he is more then likely going to just be a vegetable and that is something nobody wants for their sun. My heart goes out to his family and his girlfriend. I know how it is. My heart also goes out to the Lebanon pitcher because it wasn't his fault but I'm sure he is beating his self up about it. No one plans for this to happen. I hope a miracle can happen today. I will be praying for you, Patrick. Be strong.
