Andrew Benavides is back in the hospital with no feeling or movement to his lower body.
According to Andrew... He was having a great 7 on 7 practice yesterday in Holt Arena. The only thing he says that could be a cause/factor was a diving catch attempt that landed him backwards then a somersalt. He went home afterwards, ate and went to bed. Andrew states that he woke-up at 2am and was not able to feel or move his lower body. He started to freak-out and screamed for help. His roommate phoned 911 and Andrew was taken to The Pocatello Emergency Room via ambulance.
If anyone wishes to visit Andrew: He has been transfered to The Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls (Room 515). Andrews Cell # 916-221-8997
Some good news; His Neurosurgeon stated that his muscles are responding and not going limp. Should be able to return to Pocatello if his status continues to improve for more physical therapy.
