Please pray for Jason's (jasond08) 15 year old daughter

[frankhardy]

Jason (jasond08) is a good friend of mine. He called me Thursday night with some very serious news. His 15 year old daughter was at a Kansas City Royals game with some friends and neighbors. They were in the bleachers when she passed out. She had experienced a massive heart attack. Yes, at 15 years old. A nurse from the Royals staff and a neighbor, who is also an ICU nurse performed CPR on her and she briefly revived. As the EMT's were taking her out of Kaufman Stadium, she passed out again. They needed an AED (defibrillator) to bring her back.

He called me while he and his wife were on the way to the hospital asking me to pray for the situation.

She is in stable, but very serious condition. Some bit of good news was that they did get a response from her today. She squeezed her mom and dad's hands. When Jason bent down to kiss her and tell her he loved her, she teared up. Having a daughter myself, when he told me that, it really got to me. I just had to share this with you guys hoping that you will pray, if you are a praying person. Thank you all.

That was actually in the news, no idea that is was the daughter of a board member, but I read about it.

Hello Guys,

First I want to say thank you so much and will covet all prayers. I want to say that today the picture is completely different than what was painted Thursday evening. I am sure you are all well aware that there was a press leak ( probably from Royals) about the situation. I will let you know most every account is inaccurate, but I am just asking for prayers for my sweet daughter Mykal. We had a very grim outlook on THursday with not expecting her to make it. Tonight she is responding well while still on life support. We are expecting good things in the next week so pray hard! I owe my life to my firend and neighbor (whom she attended the game with) for saving her life. He is an ER nruse in KC and HE was the administer of CPR despite the leaks in press. He did compressions while Sam (nurse in press) held her head for airway. If it were not Brian (friend) my daughter would not be fighting hard right now. I will post more later, especially about the Royals and how they have approached the issue. FOr now I just want my little girl better. Thanks so much.

Jason

Jason - I'm so sorry that this happened to your daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with her and your family. I have a 16 year old and I can't image what something like this would be like. It's a reminder to all of us what is really important in life.

[Jlighter]

I read this article when it first came out.

http://www.kansascity.com/2013/05/24/4254405/heroic-effort-from-nurse-saves.html

I thought by the way the article was written, your girl (Mykal), was ok. Just a case of someone passing out. Clearly this isn't the case.

She will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[Tanman7baseball]

I'm extremely sorry to hear that. I'll keep her in my prayers as well.

[batsballsbases]

UPDATE:

Thanks guys for all of the prayers and support. Let me first start by saying that I am overwhelmed by the support and friendships I have here. I am even more amazed of the strength of my little girl. We removed life support yesterday and I am glad to say that she is doing amazingly well and nothing short of a miracle. Every team of Dr.s we have seen even say they have been changed by her strength and story. I will hopefully get time to tell the full story here sometime soon, but I am so thankful of the support from this community. The road will be a bit different but good. She is sitting up talking and fully intact mentally! Way different than what we were told Thursday night. One of Mykal's friends did post a FB page called prayers or praying for Mykal. You can find detail and updates there so go like the page! We will come out of this thing stronger.

Thanks

Jason Duncan

[Sean1125]

Mykal had some tests today and an MRI tomorrow. She will have some type of surgery on Wednesday. Hopefully just the ICD and be done pending no structural issues. Please keel us in prayers. Hopefully go home Friday if it is simple. I will be posting part of my collection on here soon to cover some expenses. Keep an eye out on BST if you would in the coming weeks. Thanks for the support. It is nice to see fellow members in the hobby show some support and relate as a father.

Thanks so much.
