He passed out about 5min later.

Update from Howie on the 20th
So every things been crazy sorry guys. Colby is still in critical condition. Hes officially in a coma now, and has been hooked up to a brain wave machine. The doctors said he had a seizure last night, which isnt a good thing. But to be positive when they test to see if there any reaction in him they pinch him really hard. He didnt like that and his hand moved to try and slap the doctors pinching him. So that to me is a good sign. also when they looked into his eyes they moved slightly, they say its good that there is a response but hes still in very critical condition. It appers to me that our prayers are working, i know this because they said they didnt think he would last the first night, and look whats happen. and now hes moving slightly. The power of prayers is amazing.

The donations are awesome guys, you dont realize how much this is going to help. He may be young but he owns his own house and car and has done well for himself. and not having insurance sucks also. But i know in my heart of hearts everything will be taken care of. Ill be back on later tonight with an update.

keep praying its working.
God Bless All of you
Howie.

Looks like the folks associated with WW are really pulling together for Colby.  I think that we have a great community of people, even if we don't all know each other personally.  I donated a little bit to his charity fundraiser, not much, but hopefully will help him in some way.  He is in our thoughts and prayers.  The Schulz family.
