Connor left with family friends Thursday night to head out to Rapid for state wrestling in a great mood and looking forward to the weekend ahead. They stopped in Mitchell for the night to stay with family and the boys jumped into the hot tub. The boys were dunking their heads (like kids do) Connor was breathing in and out a few times before dunking his head he simply exerted his lungs and hyperventilated, passed out - he then went under the water and his friends were fast in acting and pulled his head up but it was just a bit late as he had already sucked so much water in. He was only under a few seconds but just enough. The boys courageous actions and getting help which wasn’t far from their side saved Connor a lot of damage if not his life. They were unclear as to what had originally happened, they thought a seizure, and when he came to in Mitchell he lost it and was upset and they decided then to sedate him.

He was then air lifted to sf where mom and dad met up with him. He started showing great progress right away. He was removed from the vent, doing well, eating and walking around. Everything seemed to be going great. Removed his ICU status. Then There was a bit of a set back with some pretty high temps the last couple of days to which everyone has been baffled over because he was doing so well so quickly. Many many tests, multiple scans ran with no answers. He is still battling the unknown as tests and scans are coming back clear.

Everyone that helped and was there and everyone who’s reached out and prayed we can’t thank you all enough.
