But I realize that I will not be able to play for anyone. We are working past that you know. That reality is sinking in. I am alive and I am grateful. Now I want to organize a blood drive.
Staying positive, Norton from the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, with his grandparents and father by his side said:
I’m doing fine. I’m doing the best I can.
