Starting strong safety Reed Doughty left practice to attend to his ill son, Micah. The 20-month-old received a kidney transplant in March and is supposed to avoid contact with young children or sick adults for another seven weeks because of the risk of infection.

Doughty said last week that Micah, who spent almost all of March at Children's Hospital, is doing well. But Micah's temperature rose to 105 degrees yesterday morning, prompting Doughty's departure.

"The baby got a fever, and they had to take him to the hospital to make sure everything's OK," said Zorn, who gathered the players and coaches around him before practice to pray for Micah and his family.

Thoughts and prayers for his son.  Again, impressed with how Zorn handled
this. 

Zorn is definitely a players coach.  Saying there are things more important
than football shows he has his priorities and cares about his players.

"The baby's not just sick, the baby's had surgery," Coach Jim Zorn said. "It's an issue for him and for us as a group. . . . Fortunately, we're not in a critical part of the season. Even if it was [during the season], he'd be with his family.

Deep prayers goes out to the Doughty family
