Derek Update:

The MRSA infection has stopped growing and now we need to fight the infection that is already there.

The ARDS lung infection is still VERY BAD and still very life threatening. The X Rays show a slight reduction in swelling so the possibility of Congestive Heart Failure has been greatly reduced.

The long tern effects of ARDS can be very devastating and can end the sports career of a young athlete.

He's still fighting and looks like he's starting to get the advantage.

We want to thank everyone for their kind words, visits, and prayers!

Personal Note:
Last Year I read the thread about wrestling family and where has it gone!
Well I want to say that the force is strong in Haysville! This wrestling family has rose to the occassion and wrapped their arms around us in our time of need as given us an awesome amount of support. I am forever gratefull for them and all of the wrestling community! We have also recieved calls from other clubs and even kids that Derek wrestled last year.

Thank You all so much for your thoughts and prayers!
I know Derek hopes to be back on the mat this year but if not then he will surely be in the stands supporting the sport that he loves so very much!

Thank You,
The Tracy Family
