Fox News in Atlanta did a story about William and his recovery. I thought I'd share it with you fierce prayer warriors and let you see for yourself what your prayers helped do. God heard our petition and William is minimally affected as far as his physical recovery goes. Look at the second link.

Update on William, my cousin for whom you have so generously prayed. Shepherd's Clinic has an amazing success rate with spinal injury. They are doing a big push for diving prevention injury. “The safest dive is the dive you don’t take.” If this saves one person the pain, fear, hard work, and terror that this family has gone through, then it was worth it. I thank you for your prayers. God has heard our pleas. William may not be exactly as he was, but he will be William 2.0 and that's better.

Not surprising that it's made up of 80% young men.
