cont'

Stephen was very quiet all day yesterday and he continued to recieve updated text messages throught out the evening.  Finally he had recieved so many mixed messages that he decided to get on the computer to see if he could find out what was really happening.  It was about 9:30 and the only connection we can get right now is at my in-laws home.  Since Jeff and Stef just arrived the night before from Kentucky, they were already going to bed.  After a slight emotional outburst from our football player, I decided I needed to take him over to the house to get onto the computer.  Stephen looked up Branden on fb and found him.  But since he was not previously a friend of his he could not get all of the information he felt he needed...and he began to breakdown again.  We tried to find out what might have been reported on the news but there was no new information.  We then went home and at about 10:00 last night Stephen asked me to please take him to the HS as all of the kids were going to the hospital.  So, I took him there and there were many cars leaving to go.  They all sat outside the hospital waiting to hear any news.  At 12:00 last night they came home with no new information. ( I hope Branden knew they were there).  This morning Stephen got up at 6:20 to go to his 6:30 football practice as usual.  But at about 9:00 he came home showered and left for the school again.  He said they had not practiced but were waiting to hear how Branden was doing.  He said they were getting ready to do some tests on him.  My guess is that the team will resume practices as soon as they know how he is.  The whole team(that is all 3 teams) is still there at the school together waiting to hear....

Just heard the sad news. My heart aches for Brandon's family and his friends and classmates. What a hard thing to deal with. Give Stephen a hug from us.
