Keep 7 year old rider Gavin Zimmerman in your prayers.  I've received this from Amy Zimmerman, Gavin's mother:  "Gavin is home.  We came home from Children's on Saturday.  He did well in the hospital.  He is doing well. He has not had any pain since that night. He is not to be playing rough or running, or riding his bike (which is the hardest thing to keep him off of).  He can't really do too much for the next 6 weeks. He is back at school. We have a follow up appt. at the end of September. We will know then how he is doing internally.  I wanted to thank everyone who helped us that night. I think if it wasn't for the EMT who told us to go and get checked right away and not to drink anything things would have been much worse.  Craig mentioned about having somethingannounced, Scott and I do not have a problem with that. Nor if you would like to post something. That would be fine. Our email is sazim@verizon.net   Gavin will receive anything that comes through email.  Once again thank all of you at the track for your help, your thoughts and your prayers. Gavin is itching to get back to racing. (That night he said, "I stillam going to race next week!")

Sincerely,
Amy,Scott (Mom and Dad), and Gavin Zimmerman
