Very nice article MsProudSooner

I surely hope there is no paralysis.

Cool to see the response of the Hills and Trees folks and the Docs at St. Francis.

Prayers for Devon and his Family.

I was at the game. The University of Tulsa is scheduled to announce today how we can assist the family. They are currently staying in Tulsa.

Tulane's doctor:

"Let me tell you how impressed and pleased we were with all of the care and kindness we received in Tulsa," Stewart said. "The Tulsa team docs, the trainers, the (ambulance personnel), the hospital staff - they couldn't have been more professional or nicer. I just can't say enough nice things about all that went on."

Always heart-wrenching when stuff like this happens. It's good top see the people of Tulsa stepping up to help however they can. My thought's are with that young man and his family. Hate to see this happen to such a good kid.

Something I noticed long ago, the people of Oklahoma are very generous in times of need & tragedy...I like that about us.
