| 13th September, 2007 - 11:26 am |  Democrat & Chronicle - The surge in optimism regarding the long-term recovery of Kevin Everett that was generated Tuesday amidst reports that he was voluntarily moving his limbs had no tangible effect on his Bills' teammate, Robert Royal.
Royal said on Monday, one day after Everett, his fellow tight end, suffered a spinal cord injury in Buffalo's loss to Denver, that he was confident his 25-year-old friend and teammate was going to walk again.
Royal visited Everett at Millard Fillmore Hospital at Gates Circle in Buffalo Tuesday and held firm in that belief, and nothing changed Wednesday even when Everett's doctors warned that the chances of him walking remained merely possible, not probable.
"My thoughts are never going to change; I'm always going to believe that Kevin is going to walk away from this," Royal reiterated to a much-larger-than-normal group of reporters on hand at the Bills' practice facility.
"To me it's like a dream, and I'm just hoping to wake up out of this dream. Obviously the doctors and surgeons are experts at what they do and I give them the utmost respect, but deep down I believe he's going to walk. I put my faith in God and after that things will take their course." [READ] |
