spang, i always cringe when i see these injuries... have you heard anymore locally?
also anyone knows what happened with injured Washington Huskies player from the BYU game?
Though I doubt if he will step on the field again the early news is somewhat encouraging. At the very least, he should be able to recover, get his degree and have a happy and productive future. I certainly hope so.
Updated Statement Released by Ball State Athletics Sunday (9/21/08):
Dante Love was examined by a team of neurosurgeons, who consulted with the Ball State medical and athletic training staffs, at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Dante underwent surgery early Sunday morning, which lasted approximately five hours.
"Dante Love suffered a cervical spine fracture and spinal cord injury which required surgery to stabilize the fracture. He is currently moving all four extremities."
Dr. Jay Matchett, Ball State team physician and orthopedic surgeon.
"We were told the surgery went well. Sunday morning Dante was alert and extremely tired. His attitude and spirits are good, and we are praying for him right now."
