A little prayer request

This week, my youngest child has been helping with our church's Day Camp, for students grade 3-6. Today, they went to a pool with a 5 meter (16 feet) diving platform. He jumped off the end, and when entered the water, he went in at such an angle that his feet kind of skimmed the surface and fell out from under him. His head snapped back sharply and hit the surface of the water. When he got up, he was only coughing up water, but moments later, he was having blurred vision, difficulty walking, and a massive headache. We were initially concerned about a concussion.

A four hour visit at the E.R. revealed that while he does not have a head injury, he does seem to have sustained trauma to the neck and needs to wear a brace. However, the x-ray of his neck revealed something that didn't seem to be consistent with the kind of injury he sustained, but at the same time is a concern. We are scheduled to see a neurosurgeon tomorrow morning.

I am very thankful that there is no head injury, but naturally, given the issue with his neck x-ray, I am concerned. I would sincerely appreciate prayer as we head to the doctor tomorrow.
