Oh my gosh! I am so sorry to hear this! I hope everything gets better and he is back home soon and ready to get back to the park this summer.
Thanks,

I'll keep him and family in prayer. Does anyone know the circumstances? He's very young I thought.

Yes, he's only 17. He was on a trip to DisneyLand with friends, Over the course of a little over 24 hours he went from a mild flu-like illness to overwhelming bacterial pneumonia and sepsis. A ventilator (breathing machine) and multiple medications were not enough to support him, so he has been placed on ECMO. Someone posted on Facebook that he's improving. Thank goodness.

Wow. This is very scary in that it came on so suddenly and so intense. Thanks for the update and I'm glad to hear he's doing better. Life is precious.....

Thanks for the support everybody. I was in California until March 11th. I'm currently in physical, occupational, and psychological therapies to help recover. I'm weak but growing stronger every day. I'm hoping to visit the park just to visit. Otherwise I can probably start riding again in July.

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P

Glad to hear you made it through. It must've been even more terrifying for you than it was for us.

Hopefully you fully recover quickly!
