Payton Pritchard Open
For those of you who don't know, Payton Pritchard was badly injured in an ATV accident on August 3, 2016. He was lifelined to St. Vincent and he has a long road ahead of him. He has several fractured vertebras and a fractured c2 vertebrae. He has brain shear, they just don't know how bad yet because they can't do an MRI. To be able to perform an MRI he needs to be able to lay flat and breathe on his own for an hr, and he's not able to do that. He has a CPI (cranial pressure index) in this brain to monitor his brain pressure. This is the most critical part at this time, his brain has fluid and swelling which isn't allowing them to do anything until they can get it under control. They just put a drain in his brain to help get some of the fluid off. He has a blood clot in his leg, once again they can't operate until he can lay flat. Payton is 25 years old with a birthday in October. He's an amazing son, brother, dad, boyfriend and friend. He has an 11 month old boy named Parker Matthew Pritchard. He has so many people who are praying for him.
