I thought I would post this synopsis of the events that have led to Isaiah's hospitalization. This can also be found on the left side bar of the website but I know that a lot of people are reading updates on their phones and this is not visible in the mobile view.
On Sunday, December 28, 2014 Isaiah took on the Herman the German sledding hill in New Ulm. At the bottom of the hill, at a very high rate of speed, he either bailed late or hit directly a crevice where the hill had washed out, suffering internal injuries. After a short visit to the New Ulm Medical Center ER he was airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) in Minneapolis. He has a lacerated kidney and a paralytic ileus (which basically means his bowels are asleep - a result of trauma and a cause of increased belly pressure). A stent was placed to bridge a separation between his ureter and kidney that occurred because of the accident as well. Miraculously he suffered no head injuries or broken bones. He has not needed surgery to repair the kidney, time and rest will hopefully be all that is needed to heal that injury. We are so amazed by what the body can do. Every day we see steps forward in the healing process.
Prayers and thoughts are with your family. God truly did make our bodies amazing and we are so thankful to hear the progress Isaiah is making. Thank you for the updates.

We saw the Parkers yesterday, Briana filled me in and directed me here. We are praying for you all and encouraged to read of his slow and steady progress towards healing.
