It is not often that I send out a mass email, but Megan is requesting your prayers especially for the next 24 hours. Her friend, Todd ***, is in critical condition at the Lake of the Ozarks, where he has been since Friday evening. He and his wife, *** (a sorority sister of Megan's), have just celebrated their 1 year anniversary. They live in Kansas City. They were enjoying a dinner at Horny Toads (a fixture at the Lake), when he may have started choking on something and took a drink of water to get it down. At some point, someone preformed the Heimlich, he vomited, and aspirated on that vomit (Sorry, it's graphic, but this is beyond belief). No alcohol was involved. He lost consciousness and EMT's who happened to be there did CPR. He was without Oxygen for 4 minutes at least. They got word today that the EEG performed this morning shows almost no brain activity. If he doesn't do something voluntary (wake up, move eyes or limbs) in the next 24 hours, this 26 year old newlywed will have to make the most horrible decision of her life. Todd is about 27. Please pray for this young man. We have met Todd on several occasions and he is an upbeat, optimistic guy. They need a miracle. Thank you.

OMG Anna. How random and how horrible. That makes me sick to my stomach. He and his family will absolutely be in my prayers.
OMG...how awful!! I will definitely be thinking of them. I just cannot imagine.
It is so so sad. My sister's boyfriend is best friends with Todd's younger brother. They lost their mother years ago and apparently, they are taking Todd off of life support today. This is such a sad and scary story. My sister said that water got into his lungs. I have been thinking and praying for this family...it is just so tragic:(
Thanks for the unfortunate update, Lauren. I didn't know about his mother. What a sad accident.
Oh Anna - how horrible. I feel for both of their families and friends. They will be in my prayers. Please keep us updated!
They area all in my thoughts and prayers.
