The friends of a family, whose son was severely injured in a rodeo accident, have started a GoFundMe to help support the boy, his mom, and dad, who recently shared an update on his son’s condition.

After rectifying some technical difficulties, Daniel Smith (the father) began his update by expressing, “Praise Report today is gonna be […] that PT came in, they worked with Walker today. They did get him out of the bed and set him offside of the bed. He did sit up on his own.”
He continued, “Well, once they sat him up, he stayed up, and, you know, he held his own head up and he moved his own legs […] So, that’s a plus. Everybody was praying for that, and we’ve been praying for that.”

Daniel then revealed, “I can tell you that the CT scan of the stomach did come back, praise God, and it’s all negative. Only [sic] thing they found in his stomach was a little extra air, which is not concerning to them, but they’re gonna get that taken care of.”
The dad clarified that the “Praise Report” is all good, highlighting how that day, he received “great news.” “I couldn’t be more [sic] happier for the progress he has made today. God continues to show up and show out and show us everything that he is doing right now,” noted Daniel.
He went on to disclose that at that time, all Walker had was “a bad migraine,” which Daniel assured would be attended to by doctors.
However, he said, “But what I will tell you is, this morning, they didn’t have much hope that he would hold up his head […] He did hold his head up, and not only that, but he’s now giving a strong thumbs up on both hands.”
Daniel also noted that his son’s grip is tighter and that he was able to hold his own legs up after doctors asked him if he could and lifted him.
The father then veered the update toward his mother-in-law, who he said the public has been asking about, as she is going through her own medical predicament.
“We wanna thank you for praying for that. We’re just claiming victory all the way around. God is good, God has showed up in so many ways....
