🙏🏻
‼️UPDATE #2: With his family’s permission, we are happy to share that Ethan has been discharged! Please pray as they continue to handle all of the ramifications of this tragedy, physically, emotionally and mentally.
❗️UPDATE #1: To Clarify, Ethan was visiting for frequent football training sessions, the incident had no correlation and was unrelated.
Dear Football Families,
It is with heavy hearts that we come to you today asking for your prayers.
Ethan Carter was shot several times last night in his body, skull, hit his neck, through his hand, arm and chest while training in Alabama. By miracle, the shot to his skull did not go through. Praise God! He is currently conscious and has full function this morning, but he is beat up pretty badly. He is currently in a trauma unit in Alabama.
Please see the latest update from Ethan's mom, Tami:
"Today’s news~
The neurosurgeon was in and he just said that no surgeries required in the current state, there is bruising on the brain but nothing currently to justify surgery. He knows his goals and dreams in regards to football, said no concern about future goals coming from that perspective. While it’s not high on the list for us, we know Ethan’s concerns. He could potentially be released Tuesday but subject to change. There is air in his esophagus from ballistics, so doing an esophageal scope now. Another CT tomorrow to continue monitoring his brain injury."
The Carter family would appreciate your prayers as they navigate through this time of uncertainty and difficulty.
Sincerely,
Hudsonville Football Committee
