Last update from the
Family was two days ago. I'm thinking if there was any good news to report they would have reported it.
Last update was around 1 today.

Not even that hot yet

I'm guessing they didn't put him in the cold tub or tried to lower his core body temp before transporting him. That is key to surviving heat stroke,,,full body immersion cold tub at about 50°-55°. Can also lay somebody on a tarp, have people hold up the corners and dump ice over him. You have to lower the core temp before the internal organs cook.

Considering the resources RHS has I would wager heavily they have a well heeled training staff. I have personally seen the trains safe at a not so many resources as RHS save a kids life.

From my understanding 2 kids ended up in the hospital that day. One is still in critical condition. He is alive, but will need the power of prayer to avoid long term brain injury.

If this is true, then something was clearly missed by the coaching staff.

From the story I was told, they sprayed him down with the waterhose at the football facility. Apparently also stuck said waterhose in his mouth. He was put in an ice bath at the ER. Internal temp was still very high upon arrival.

Not good if that's the case. But I wish Paramedics and EMT's would get on board with cooling first prior to transport when exertional heat stroke is suspected. Cool first, transport second saves lives.

This is their first year using the new covered 'turf" training facility but I have no idea if he was on it or completely outside.

Continued pussification of the population and men in particular.

After nearly seven weeks intubated in ICU, he was moved to a step down room this week. Still a long way to go but it's a start, considering the odds were against him living out the first week.

drinking energy drinks and taking creatine
Horrible and life threatening diet when fixing to work out and run in even the 85 degree morning heat, much less if holding these sessions between 11am-5pm.

And the precedex is OFF!?
Go Lux! ????
He’s been on this drip for 2.5 months and has had to slowly come off of it the last couple of weeks.
He’s been doing so good in therapy, moving all limbs on command, giving it his ALL! Although we have a long way to go, he has come sooo far!
I’m so dang proud of him! We are getting closer to moving from ICU- we are so ready for this step..although we want to take all of the PICU nurses and RTs with us?? they’ve become friends that we adore! I can’t even put into words how much they have done for us..not just medically but emotionally and mentally.
What a God we serve??????
Keep praying for continued strength physically, spiritually, and mentally for Lux!
Pray for no set backs!
Also that his airway strengthens and he can go home without a trach!

Sounds like a good update.
Is his condition similar to an actual stroke? Does he have the potential to return to full strength or does he have permanent damage?

If it truly is heat stroke and not an underlying condition, how does this even happen any more?
The worst case of heat stroke I saw in HS (in Houston) was a healthy kid who was really pushing himself and going running on his own in the morning before 2-a-days.
But, plenty of people do have undiagnosed conditions at that age.
