I received this in an email tonight. ******************************************************** Melissa called me this evening with some fabulous news: they went and got Jacob at UK Hospital yesterday and brought him up to Cincinnati. He went to UC for a visit, and because he is doing so well, he was fitted for garments and was given a medical massage

I don't know Jake, but my son was with him that night. He says that Jake was very courageous after it happened. He was in extreme pain, but did not panic. His composure actually helped those who were trying to assist him while they waited for the ambulance. Those of you who know him won't be surprised to hear that he was a great leader of the new team and they are anxious for him to return to the school. His roommates have pledged to do everything necessary to aid his return to the classroom and the mat. We got a call from our son at midnight when this happened and he was noticable shaken from seeing his friend and roommate and practice partner undergo such a horrible experience. He was only a foot away from Jake and we couldn't help but think that it could just as easily been our child. I urge to you make a donation to the fund to help with his expenses. You never know when it could be your child. And I think Jake would be one of the first to step up to help if it had happened to someone else.
