Update regarding Owen Start - 2/7/12

Owen Start, a Sophomore player on the JV team, was struck by a foul ball at Saturday's game.  He was taken to the hospital to get checked and a precautionary Catscan, followed by a MRI, confirmed that he had a brain tumor (unrelated to his injury).  Owen was taken to CHOC hospital in Orange, where he underwent surgery on Tuesday morning to remove the brain tumor.  According to Owen's mother, the conversations with the doctors, it appears the tumor to be benign, and confirmation should be made upon completion of the lab work.  Owen's mother tells us that the foul ball may have been God's work in action.  Sonora Baseball players, coaches and families wish Owen a speedy and healthy recovery.

2/9/12 - Owen continues to make good progress and is out of ICU.  The doctors report that most patients see the most pronounced improvement after about 3 days, which would be tomorrow.  Owen is in good spirits and has maintained his sense of humor.  Kurt Blodgett delivered a card from all of the players today and Owen and his family were thankful for the consideration and your thoughts/prayers.  Owen said he misses Sonora Baseball, but that he very much looks forward to getting back in the game.  Visiting hours are 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Update 2/18/12

It was great to see Owen Start at the games today, just one week after his release from the hospital.  Owen will be off until around May 1 and he has a great attitude/perspective on his recovery!  Owen received great news that the removed tumor was the least problematic that you can have.
