Posted by Janelle Larson, a resident of the Mohr Park neighborhood, on May 10, 2012 at 4:46 am I am his sister. His name is Joshua Larson and his body has responded well to all treatments. Thank you for your prayers. He was moved to Oakland children and taken in quickly for surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain. The doctors feel they saved his life. He recognizes us and yesterday he began to walk! It is truly a miracle. He still has to have surgery for quite a few broken bones in his face but considering the accident we are so blessed to have him here with us.
