BRENDEN YATES!!!!

About a week and a half ago, my brother's and sister in laws 13 year old nephew, My really good friend was up with his youth group at a challenge course up behind Utah State Hospital in provo doing a challenge course. When Brenden went up to do it, I guess the lady up there was distracted and hooked brenden up to the wrong rope, so when he went to jump off the thing he fell 40 ft straight down. He was life flighted to Primary Childrens hospital. He has severe brain damage, internal bleeding in his head and all over, punctured lungs and kidneys, Pelvis is broke. he broke his back in 6 spots, neck is injured, he can't move and now is paralized on his left side :( Brenden prob wont be able to walk again, he won't be able to play sports (and this kid is seriously way active) so it's going to suck for him.

My heart goes out to the women who was up there with Brenden and also to the family. We love and miss you Brenden and cant wait to see you again. Stay in there, keep being strong, and let Heavenly Father be with you. Love you guys!!!!


ps. the video is on the side of my blog. feel free to go watch it.

Here is a story from FOX 13 NEW!!!
PROVO, Utah - A 13-year-old Payson boy is in critical condition at Primary Children's Medical Center after a fall on Saturday. The boy's family said his injuries could leave him confined to a wheelchair. Brendon Yates was with a church group going through a ropes course at the Utah State Hospital in Provo. The family said the course instructor failed to properly secure Brendon's harness as he prepared to swing from a platform. The boy fell 40 feet breaking numerous bones, including his back. The rope course has been suspended while the state hospital are investigating the accident.

For those who would like to help Brendon Yates and his family can donate to the Brendon Yates Fund at any local Central Bank and Zions Bank.
