My grandson Jason is in ICU, some very nice football players visited today

[Omaha Steve]

Jason has been in and out of the hospital several times in his 21 months. He was in and out Saturday. He went back in yesterday and they put him in ICU. Today an EKG finally showed what previous tests didn't catch. Good news bad news. They can now stop generic treatment. They can target his epilepsy and fevers. Today some college and NFL players visited him. He got an autographed football and some laughs. The local paper got some great photos I'm told. I'll post the article regardless as soon as it is online. They visited the entire floor. I don't know yet which player to thank other than one is a Carolina Panther. I will be expressing my gratitude to all these heroes as I get the info.

One of the Seahawks Tweeted about visiting a hospital yesterday in Texas.

17. The list of the players that stopped in yesterday

Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch, Chris Kelsay, Chris Bober, Paul Posluszny, Jason Peter and Danny Noonan. Noonan organized the group’s visit to Children’s Hospital & Medical Center.

So far the story is only for subscribers. The story will be posted later today when it becomes avaiable. No picture of Jason.

Thank you all for the well wishes.

Awesome!

18. The hospital story isn't online yet

I'm sure it will be tonight and I'll post it then.

My daughter Serena was fired yesterday when she didn't leave Jason and go to work. This was her second week at the place. This is the second time she has lost a job because an employer thought they should be more important to her than Jason.
