This young man, Matt Goodall, is a good friend of my son (registered here as Jemians Terror). Matt calls me his second mom. He really is lucky to be alive. Those croc teeth went all the way through his surf board. The article doesn't say, but Matt was with the other members of his sophomore class. The others were close to following him into the river.

This happened one week ago. Today, Matt is regaining movement in his hand and arm and his bites are now covered by mere band-aids.

Anybody go after the critter? I hate to think of the bad nightmares he will have after this.

the animal involved is believed to have killed five people

Matt is a very lucky young man, indeed. I am so glad that he is gaining movement in his hand. I pray for a complete recovery for him.
