Gentlemen,
I'm here, with my hat in my hand humbly begging for your help.
There is a 2 day old little boy fighting for his life tonight in the Intensive care unit at the childrens hospital in Denver.
God don't owe me any favors, and an old lowlife like me has no right to ask him. So I'm begging you all to call in any favors the Lord might owe you.
Luke Scott JR was born severely oxygen deprived due to some medical bungling at a hospital I'm not allowed to mention. He's on a ventialtor in an induced state of mild hypothermia.
His folks are absolutely our kind of people. His mother is recovering right now, after nearly dying herself due to the same bungling. I drove to denver yesterday to be with my friend. He's one of the toughest men I've ever known, and when he finally broke after seeing his son buried in a mass of tubes and equipment, it nearly did me in right there.
This little boy doesn't deserve what has befallen him. If the heart beating in my chest would help him, he would already have it.
I've never felt so damned impotent and useless in my entire life. If any of you would be so kind as to pray for him, I would truly be in your debt.
Respectfully yours,
Daniel Walker
