Everson Walls left, and Ron Springs right

 

Former Dallas Cowboys star Running back Ron Springs  has been hospitalized in a coma, just seven months after receiving  a  kidney by his best friend and former teammate Everson Walls. According to Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs. Shawn Springs (The son of Ron) has left the team to be with  his father. Coach  Gibbs said in an interview that Springs left because it seems very,very serious!


Ron Springs had had diabetes for 16 years now, he had been  on the National Transplant waiting list for 14 years, for a kidney when former teammate Everson Walls decided to extend his friends life by giving him a  kidney. The disease confined Springs to a wheelchair, and led to the amputation of his right foot, and two toes on his left foot.

 

Please keep Ron, Shawn, Family, and Friends  in your prayers, I know I  will!
