I dont know if anyone knows about this since its more of a local story but;
[quote]MINNEAPOLIS - Doctors at Hennepin County Medical Center say Benilde-St. Margaret’s sophomore Jack Jablonski has a severed spinal cord – the result of an accidental check from behind that sent him into the boards and down to the ice during a hockey game Friday in St. Louis Park.
Minutes into the second period of Friday's game against Wayzata in the Holiday Hockey Classic, Jablonski chased a puck into the corner with two Wayzata players trailing him.
The accidental check from behind left the 16-year-old Jablonski motionless on the ice at the St. Louis Park Rec Center. Doctors initially thought he suffered a bruised spinal cord and two broken vertebrae, but Monday they said his spinal cord is actually severed.
They don’t know if Jack will walk again.
Monday, a few teammates visited Jablonski at HCMC, and he was also visited by former Minnesota North Stars player, coach and general manager Lou Nanne.

[quote]Minnesota high school hockey player Jack Jablonski, who suffered partial paralysis when he crashed head first into the boards during a game last week, was scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday to fuse damaged vertebrae.
Jablonski, a sophomore at Benilde-St. Margaret's (St. Louis Park, Minn.), has been in critical condition at Hennepin County Medical Center since the incident Friday and has been immobilized with a halo. According to a report in the Star Tribune, Jablonski's spinal cord was severed and he fractured two vertebrae. Prior to surgery, he had regained some movement in his right arm but could not move his legs.
"This is a very serious spinal cord injury," Dr. Tina Slusher told the Star Tribune. "We are worried because he isn't moving more at this time. You can't say absolutely where we're going to be six weeks, six months down the road, but it is very worrisome."
Jablonski was hurt from a hit from behind in the third period of a junior varsity game between Benilde-St. Margaret's and Wayzata during a holiday tournament. While skating after the puck, Jablonski was hit by two players, according to JV coach Chris McGowan.
"His face slammed against the boards and his body was straight up and down," McGowan said after the game.
"It wasn't a booming hit," Wayzata JV coach Duke Johnson told the Star Tribune. "Was it a check from behind? Yes. Did our kid take eight strides and then hit him? No."
Jablonski, who scored a goal earlier in the game, was a member of the Benilde-St. Margaret's varsity team, but was playing with the JV over the holidays to get more playing time.
Benilde-St Margaret's director of marketing and communication Melenie Soucheray did not have an update on Jablonski's condition when reached Wednesday afternoon.[/quote]

It amazes me to see how far the scum on these forums can descend to just rip on religion a bit more, no matter the circumstances. A kid is paralyzed and the family is doing what they can to try and help him and if that means praying for him to get better, so be it.
You people make me fucking sick, show some damn respect or shut up.

Wow, sucks to be protestant
As an Irish Catholic, I just confessed to my priest that I didn't pray, and spent the money my friends had pooled together for Jablonski on booze and hookers instead
clean slate baby

But praying is the same as doing nothing.

In your mind it is, but for all those people it's the only hope they have. But to sit here and use that as an insult towards the family that is dealing with the fact their son will never walk again? That's just low, no matter who you are, that is ignorant, uncalled for and by far one of the most despicable things I have ever seen, regardless of your religious beliefs or what not.
There's a saying, you may have an opinion, but that doesn't mean it should be said. This is one of those times.

Maybe in your opinion it is. In mine, praying is despicable and insulting.

Insulting to who? It personally hurts you to see people who adhere to a faith praying? Lol, how fucking immature of you.
Facepunch, model of morality, societal and cultural understanding.
Kid is paralyzed perhaps for life, someone mentions prayer and you all jump on the guy defending him. Some way to go guys.

Insulting to humanity in general.

Also I never did this, you're confused clearly.
Just because I think 'prayer' is a waste of time and insulting to humanity, and literally does nothing as statistics show, doesn't mean I don't think people can pray if it makes them feel better. If people want to pray then they can go ahead and do it.
Sensationalist title; I thought that he was playing whilst having a severed spinal cord.
A lot of people on my Facebook have the "Jab" emblem as their profile picture.

i'd rather let our one true Saviour heal him, than get a few bucks
Hes not walking ever again.
If you're going to pray for something, do it for stem cell research.

You guys are insensitive pricks. You guys wonder why religious people hate atheists, it's because of ass holes like you. Just because you don't believe what they believe doesn't give you the right to shit all over them and sit on a high horse like you're better and smarter than them. Who the hell are to tell someone that the only thing that may give them comfort to their paralyzed friend or relative is wrong and stupid? Seriously, go fuck yourselves.
Basically the same thing happened to a buddy of mine from high school.
In around '05 when he was 16 he got checked from behind and slide into the boards.
He's been in a powered-wheel chair ever since, this is pretty rough.
Hopefully like in his situation after a long while of physiotherapy and other rehabilitations Jack will make progress.
A few months back he made the breakthrough of actually walking and supporting himself with the use of crutches.
Good luck to Jack, there is definitely the science out there to help.
