Bounce House Injury

A Tooele family is praying for a miracle for the son. Josh Hinton was a ballet dancer and waiting for his mission call as a BYU Freshman.

But, during orientation, Hinton ran through a bounce house obstacle course, hit his head on a pole, and became paralyzed from the neck down. He can no longer walk, feed himself, or even breath on his own.

Prayers are pouring in from missionaries across the world in 50-countries. Alex Boye, who is a favorite music artist of Josh's, visited his hospital room and sang at his bedside, and a member of the Quorum of the Twelve says his mission call will be waiting for Josh, when he is ready.

Hinton says his deep reservoir of faith and family are getting him through this ordeal. He is being transferred to a facility in Denver which specializes in head and neck injuries.
