Early this morning, several of my guy friends attempted to pull a seemingly harmless prank--putting a stuffed buffalo from the science center on top of Oakwood, their 3-story dorm (they've done things like this before with no problems). Something went wrong, and one of the guys fell. They airlifted him to UVA medical center. I am told when he was on the ground he could not speak and could only move his arms. Please pray for Michael Wiebe-Johnson and his family. His parents are on the way to Virginia from Indiana. I'm basically in shock right now--I mean, I just ate lunch with Wiebe yesterday. This feels very unreal. All of your prayers are appreciated. Thanks.

I will certainly be praying. The injury sounds so familiar...over Spring break, a junior here was on a CU MIS (missions) trip to Mexico. He did a backflip (seemingly harmless as well), landed on his head, and broke his neck. He is currently recovering, but doctors and specialists are not sure how much, if any, movement Dan will regain.

Praying for you, your friends, and Michael "Wiebe."
