    Doctor says Everett has "warrior's mentality"

    “He was certainly frightened, but he was concerned about his mother and how she was going to respond to this,” said Cappuccino, who described his patient as having a “warrior’s mentality.”

    “He told her that he loved her. He told her that he loved his sisters. He told her that he was going to get better and he didn’t want her to worry,” Cappuccino said.

      My prayers Kevin!
      Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

          “He’s like a brother,” wide receiver Roscoe Parrish said barely above a whisper.

            Being at the game Sunday, my mind was flashing back to the other games I watched with violent hits such as Kevin's and I just kept hoping and praying for the thumbs-up signal. It didn't happen and then I knew it was worse than I thought at first.

            My prayers and thoughts go out not only to Kevin, but his family and teammates on the Bills as they prepare to move on with the rest of the season with out him.

              Cappuccino noted the 25-year-old reserve tight end did have touch sensation throughout his body and also showed signs of movement. But he cautioned that Everett's injury remained life-threatening, saying the player is still susceptible to blood clots, infection and breathing failure.

              I can't help thinking he's got a good chance of recovering. I'm seeing the latter part of this statement as only applying to the dangers of the swelling. If he's got feeling, and the swelling goes down, it sounds hopeful. Doesn't it?

                I'm glad Dick and Marv are here instead of Tom and Malarkey.

                  Just as if Kevin had a stroke, he may have a full life ahead of him,but as an NFL player, it's not going to happen this season, since he's been placed on the IR list. Yet it may take months or years of therapy to recover from this injury. Only the GREAT COACH in the sky knows if Kevin will ever play again in the NFL>

                    Playing again doesn't matter to me, it's the walking again that is important.

                      First things first, let's get him breathing on his own.

                        “Full recovery is a long shot. But the possibility of significant recovery is quite real, although we remain very concerned,” said Dr. Kevin Gibbons, the consulting neurosurgeon involved in the operation at Millard Fillmore Hospital.

                        Sounds more hopeful than much that has been discussed.... don't know what "significant recovery" means, but if you're starting with touch sensation and some movement, maybe he will be able to have a close to normal life... We'll just have to wait and see...

                          Seems like one mentally tough guy! The team will rally around him and step up their game

                            Spinal injuries can be tricky. I work at a VA hospital, and it's got a dedicated spinal cord unit.I think some doctors pretty much tell you the worst case scenario, because in the end if you don't get better than you can't go back and say, well you gave me false hope....

                              How many miracle recoveries have you witnessed there, or do they all turn out bad?
