I have not seen any post here but felt the need to share.
A young man, Garrett Spears, was struck by lightning at Fort Hood and is in critical condition. He is now in Temple on life support and is unresponsive. His family and friends are asking for prayers. He was in the Corps of Cadets Company E-1, class of '11. I

With his uncle tonite. Searched TexAgs when he told me this story. This board is amazing.

He is doing better and has improved his consciousness and is moving, throwing football. Way beyond what the family ever expected. Keep Garrett in your prayers Ags.

From the Jock FB page:

Quick update on Garrett Spears. I visited him on MLK day and was absolutely blown away by how coherent and lucid he was. He was speaking in very short phrases and very quietly, but I was able to understand him. His fine motor skills and gross motor skills are both coming along very well. He audibly snapped his fingers when I paused between stories and whispered to keep them coming. He can lift his torso off the bed and shift himself. He is moving his leg well and his vision is improving. Every time I visit him I'm blown away by his progress. Very positive things happening at the Audie Murphy VA hospital.
