They told me that when they were trying to life flight him his lung collasped, the re-inflated. Then they had to bring him back in again and the 2nd time they re-inserted a larger breathing tube and x-rayed to make sure it was in lung far enough. They drug induced his coma to keep him calm from the shock of injuries to leg/arms. They were bad even thought he could loose his leg. They said he was a fighter when they were working on him. I think that was the moment his brain was starving for oxygen. There explanation at trauma was "Air was forced into the main artery of the brain instead of oxygen rich blood vital for the brain. My thoughts a heck of a force for 13 yr old lungs. When I can deal with it I will have a Medical review completed. There are 2 hospitals involved. I even asked if his breathing is an issue "why life flight"? for the bones and some air in his stomach. Well burp him them. They allowed me to bring in my nephew and neice and her friend to prove to these devistated kids who were with him when he wrecked "He is fine he will be okay" Now remember I donated all organs which included both his lungs.
