I didn't know where to post this on the Dis, but this seemed a good place since many of you may have been in the marathon.

Please send prayers. My best friend's brother collapsed at the WDW marathon today. He is not doing well. Please pray!!

We will certainly keep him in our thoughts. Was his name Bob by any chance? DH got medical attention for a man who collapsed on the Swan/Dolphin bridge today.

I hope he is okay. Please post an update. I have been praying for all the people we saw on the course who had to be taken to the side and attended to by medical personnel. I hope your friend's brother has recovered completely.

Thanks everyone for all of the prayers! They are working!

The doctors were very cautious in the beginning - not sure he was going to make it. But now his outcome looks much much better. He is not quite out of the woods so please pray that he will be up and walking soon (preferrably out of the hospital) .

Good thoughts continuing.

DH saw 6 people taken out by ambulance this marathon (he did the Goofy). He also saw a man go down at the 26 mile make with 285 yards to go to finish the race. Was this the man? Please let us know. DH (a FF/ paramedic) was very concerned about everyone but esp. this man.

Our prayers are with him.

I'm so sorry for not updating sooner but last Friday, after 12 days in the hospital, my friend's brother went home!! He is expected to make a full recovery and have no lasting problems from his ordeal.

He is now home with his wife and children. I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I truly believe having so many people praying for him made a difference.
