 Andy's son, Riley
« Thread Started on Nov 2, 2009, 2:42pm »

I just heard from Andy today. His wife found their son Riley on his bed, cold and unresponsive. Andy started CPR while Kathy called 911. They got him back and he is currently in the hospital. This young boy who is only 16 needs a lot of prayers and Andy and Kathy could use a bunch too.
I'll keep everyone posted as I hear from Andy.

I heard from Andy this morning. Riley is out of the hospital and seems to be doing fine.

It's okay to send personal messages of support to Andy--I'm sure he appreciates them--but don't worry if you don't hear back right away. I'm sure his life is in complete chaos right now, although Riley's recovery is an extreme relief.

Being a parent is the scariest job there is, because it means letting your heart walk around independent of your body.

Very glad to hear Riley is out of the hospital. I think Andy and his wife are pretty crazy-busy, right now, dealing with all of this. I'm keeping them all in my prayers.

OMG! That is probably one of the scariest things I've read on here! I am also glad to hear Riley is home now (assuming that 'out of the hospital' = 'home'.)
