    That is a horrible family tragedy.
    Poor man. How sad.

    This young man just turned 18 in Feb., just a kid.

    You and your friend's family have my sympathies.

    Too many people in the world don't need an excuse to hate. They will hate someone for the simple fact that they are different. Sad but true. In your friends case his being gay, someone else because someone is non white, non muslim, non christian, non pro- war, non dem...non...non....

    I hope the kid pulls through.

    And without offending anyone, The South isn't really a place to be "different". I traveled through OK,AR, LA, MS, AL, TN, GA and the Carolinas and my history books came alive there. I saw first hand the prejudice and bigotry. In some places much more than others, but still there.

    Surprisingly enough, Mexico seems to be quite tolerant towards the gay community. The 'machismo' seems to be heading towards the backseat finally.

    By the way ladies, you look good today.

    Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. It has been a long week for our department, I added a pic of the procession to my first post.

    No offense taken here. I have deep roots in the south even though I live in Michigan and I know what you mean. My story sounds like something from a movie or one of those fictional e-mails intended to turn us in to nice compassionate people.
    This very true and very real and very sad. What is wrong with this world??
    I just do not know.

    Hi guys,
    I thought that I should share the information that I was given last night.

    I spoke with my mom and she told me that our friend is awake but he does not have a short term memory. He keeps repeating the same things and asking the same questions because he does not know that he already asked. My guess is, that may be something that will come back with time.

    That is second hand information because my niece has not been back to the hospital. She is new to the area down there and she is afraid to drive to Knoxville alone. She is going to get there this week some how.

    I will keep you guys informed.

    That is terribly sad Ella

    I have a lot of gay friends and I would hate for any one of them to be this sad

    He is lucky to have such caring friends

    Thought you all might like to know that "little buddy" has been moved to another part of the hospital.
    He does not know why he is in there. They tell him but he forgets and asks all over again. I do believe that will fade in time.

    I wish I knew what type of impact this has had on his family. I would feel a lot better if I knew that they were changed by what happened. I will keep you all informed.
    Pray for a happy ending.
