"his exceptional performance in various international tournants has him linked with a move to Europe and quite a few prominent. Now however that move might be in limbo as we are told he received a GSW to the chest and lost quite a lot of blood on arrival."
Sports Illustrated: The hope of Arican Soccer shot during a school shooting. Tragedy struck Red Oak Prep with a school shooting that has left 4 dead and several injured. Among them is Rakim Rex the young wunderkind out of Orlando Florida. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this senseless act of violence. We will be following Rakim's recovery closely, given his significant impact on the sports world."
~~~
Hundreds of news outlets were covering this shooting both within the states and internationally. Most of them talked briefly about the tragedy calling into question Arica's loose gun laws before turning their attention to Rakim. Since he had already been sowhat of a celebrity in the football world it was expected.
However, the boy himself wasn't aware of any of the turbulent information spreading across the internet. Ever since he passed out after subduing toby he had been in a coma due to severe blood loss. The police managed to rush him to the nearby St Joseph hospital where they promptly established his condition.
They wanted to perform surgery on him but his family refused, Lisa was too distraught to make a decision. Tears seed to be her default setting to deal with the tumultuous emotions she was feeling. Ben on the other hand didn't trust the surgeons there and called up a favour to fly in a specialist from New York.
The surgery perford by Doctor Shepperd a cardiovascular surgeon specialising in athletes went great. His prognosis was for Rakim to make a full recovery with minimal nerve damage to his right arm. However, despite the surgery taking place on Tuesday evening just a day after the shooting Rakim shows no signs of waking up.
Brain damage was ruled out after thorough testing indicating brain activity by the head of neurosurgery. It was concluded that although his brain was active his body had undergone a massive shock and was taking its ti to recover. They were hopeful he would wake up in 10 days before they would have to worry.
Thus the entire Rex Family spent their days and nights in the hospital trying to be there just in case he woke up. Emma and May were also admitted to the hospital, the latter for the graze and ntal factor. Emma was held on purely ntal concerns by the psychiatrist not that they could have made her leave in the first place.
She was practically glued to the bedside of her brother and later May who joined him. If not for one of her parents taking her ho so she could freshen up once a day she wouldn't have left. Later having May as the company helped as the two girls bonded over the experience of seeking comfort in one another.
On the first day, it was just their family and May who's family was out of town at her brother's baseball ga. They had to reassure the Parkers over the phone that their daughter was okay and would be taken care of till they got here. On day two Lex joined the group with her mother who finally agreed to let her out of the house.
She didn't feel safe outside either but she wanted to be there for her friend who had saved her during the single most horrible incident in her life. She wasn't the only one to join them as May's family arrived followed by Liv who ca to be with her two friends. They continued to receive support and visitors as more days passed from friends and family who flew out to be with them.
However, what Lisa especially didn't appreciate was the hounding of reporters. Every ti she left the hospital to get so fresh air so that she could think soone was there asking her questions about her son. Not only that so of the more daring ones even snuck into the hospital in hopes of getting a scoop.
Her son's battle on the brink of death was seen as nothing more than explosive news to these vultures. she had never liked the attention her son got from them when he started shining but understood it was part of the sports. However, experiencing the ugly side of it first hand all her fears about how harmful the dia can be beca true.
