Default Would appreciate your thoughts/prayers

My cousin's truck was hit by a train late Sunday night. He's still in critical condition. His name is Daniel and he's only 19. My family would appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9284109

11/7/08 Update: He's still in bad shape, but he's alive. The accident shattered his pelvis, collapsed his lung, and fractured his skull in several places. He had a fever, but it appears to be going down and the pressure in his brain has been up and down. The doctors have told us there's not much of a chance for him, but he seems to be responding more to touch and pain sensations.

On behalf of my family and myself I would like to thank all of the forum members who have been so supportive. My mom (who flew to the east coast to be with our family) was blown away when I showed her this link and told me she plans on showing it to Daniel when he wakes up. Your prayers have been invaluable and we would ask for you to continue.

11-25-08 Update: We lost him around midnight last night. We have been blessed by your support. Thank you to everyone for their prayers and kind words during this time.
