We lost a "MHS Bear Football Player today"



Its been such a hard thing to deal with and we've prayed and prayed for a miracle but the Lord has a place for him and it was time for him to go home. Gregory played football with Kam and it has really hit home for the "Bear Football Family". Here's the story:::

Former Merced High football star Kameron Huddleston dies...

Kameron Huddleston, the 19-year-old former Merced High football star, died Monday in the Intensive Care Unit at St. Agnes Medical Center in Fresno. The end came peacefully, his mother Margie Huddleston said. Kameron's blood pressure began to drop late Sunday night and continued to fall throughout the early morning hours Monday. He was pronounced dead at 11:20 a.m. "My baby passed away today," Margie said. "God saw fit to spare me, Randy and Britney the toughest decision of our lives." Kameron had been in a coma for nearly month after experiencing complications after a routine surgery to fix two ligaments in his right knee on Aug. 7. The family said Kameron suffered flash pulmonary edema while in the recovery room -- meaning his lungs began to fill with fluid -- and had to have a tube inserted into his lungs to assist breathing and drainage. Kameron was sedated to protect the breathing devices and his surgically-repaired right knee. He slipped into a coma and never came out. At some point, oxygen was cut off from his brain, and CPR had to be administered, his father Randy said.The family hasn't asked St. Agnes for an operational report, detailing the events that night.
"Right now, we're not there," Margie said. "Of course, we want to know what happened. But some things aren't to be revealed. "We have to be at peace with where we’re at. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. I’m just holding on ... my baby is going home."
