Tragedy strikes Sea Scout Ship--prayers needed

[Buffalo Skipper 13]

Please keep Eagle Scout Josh Toquothty in your prayers. He is a local Sea Scout who was attending a ship party for one member's birthday and his going away to college. Not being familiar with the extreme shallow water, he dove in where it was too shallow water and broke his neck. He is a BSA Lifeguard and a great Sea Scout.

See a very positive story on what the other Scouts around him did when it happened here: (Look at the next post for the link...

 

After the incident he had no feeling below his sternum, but after 5 hours of surgery yesterday, he is now said to be able to wiggle toes in one foot and feel pain in the other. Keep Josh in your thougths and prayers as he has a long recovery and rehabilitation ahead of him.(This message has been edited by Buffalo Skipper)(This message has been edited by Buffalo Skipper)

Of course I will keep Josh in my prayers.

The story of how well the Sea Scouts acted is great.
