For those that read the global snapshot in the Villages Daily Sun on Sunday, here is an update on the wounded student’s condition from his father as of yesterday. And I quote “
Please continue to pray for Logan, his family as well as his attacker and family. Last night was a good night. They were able to remove Logan’s breathing tube. As a result, they were able to lower his sedation. Logan started becoming much more aware around 2:00AM. He remembers the event and one of the first things he asked Julie and I was to pray for the other students involved.
We have met with multiple doctors today and their goal is to get him out of ICU. They think it might be possible to do this by the end of the day. Some of the more significant issues remaining for Logan:
1> He has a lot of shot (pellets in his body. Probably 70-80. Two of these are in his spinal canal. Thankfully, one of them missed narrowly missed a nerve (nerve is on the right side and pellet is on the left. The body will naturally encapsulate the pellets that are in the soft tissue.
2> Logan’s backbone took a lot of impact from one on the shots. There are multiple breaks and fractures. One potential risk is compression of the spine. Logan will need to wear a neck/back brace for 3 months in order to let the backbone fuse in place. He will be on physical restrictions during that time.
3> Logan is doing as well as can be expected from a mental/emotional standpoint but we would ask that you continue to pray for his healing. As you can imagine, it is a lot to process and his memory of the event is very vivid.
4> Logan’s right lung is damaged from the pellets. There may be partial loss to some of his overall capacity but that should be limited.
5> Logan’s front three teeth are broken from hitting the floor.
6> Please continue to pray that infection will not be an issue. I won’t go into all of the details but as he was laying on the floor bleeding from the two shotgun wounds, he was talking to the shooter asking/begging him to please not cause further injury to anyone at the school or to himself. God chose to use Logan in this situation and Logan responded to that opportunity. We could not be prouder of him. Logan is a true hero. Feel free to share this post as there are a lot of people in the community that have been inquiring about Logan. Thank you all so much for your payers."
This event took place in a farming community very, very close to Urbana. More information can be found on the Urbana Citizen site. This young man needs our payers.
