Continue to Pray for Tanner



I just want you guys to continue to pray for Tanner and his family. He is now at Covenant Medical Center. I have alot of second hand information on his condition that I don't feel comfortable posting encase it is not accurate. What I do know is that he did suffer a concussion several weeks ago and then was cleared to play. The doctors do feel that his head trauma is not just from one particular hit but from the accumulation of hits over a period of time. This is a serious situation and we need to lift this family up in prayer.

We've been trying to keep up with this via Lisa's connections in Abernathy. It's a scary deal, but apparently there was good news Thursday. I also refrain from giving any PHI, but at some point THESE ARE ALL OUR KIDS ON THE SOUTH PLAINS! Green/Gold, Blue/White, Red/Black....we'll battle each other all night long on the gridiron, court or track, but it's all West Texas kids! All West Texans want Tanner to come out of this OK!

I agree with you Shallowbottom. As parents I know this is a fear we all face when our kiddos hit the field, court or mat. It is something we all pray will not happen but the underlying risk is always there.

I'm here in his hometown, and the news on Friday is good. He's off the ventilator, responding to verbal commands, and is mouthing some words to answer people.
