Burleson asked the students not only for prayers but for donations to help the family with travel expenses and medical care. A fund was created for it at the National Bank of Texas.

- We hear a lot. Some were true, others not. It's hopeless - said his father, Ed Sykora to the Star-Telegram.

The technique of the volleyball team of Texas A & M University, Laurie Corbelli, is concerned about the future of his former player. But like the friends of Stacy believes that if anyone is able to get a return, that person is the Olympic medalist.

- I'm really worried about the liberation of the doctors that she comes back to play again. She will fight them like crazy for it. It can infiltrate the gym wearing a wig and who knows what else. Yes, you will need 24-hour surveillance if they tell her not to play again - Corbelli said.

Mother and sister of Stacy Sykora arrive at the hospital where the libero is hospitalized

Manager reveals that player was sitting on the lap of one of the companions of the Volei Futuro listening music, at the moment of the accident

Visibly slaughtered, mother and sister of Volei Futuro's libero Stacy Sykora arrived at Guarulhos International Airport on saturday morning and went straight to the Syrian-Lebanese Hospital in Sao Paulo. The player is hospitalized in ICU since last Tuesday when he suffered an accident on a bus with the team of Araçatuba.

The relatives were accompanied by the team directors Basilio Torres and Marcela Constantino Neto, and would not talk to the press before meeting the health status of the athlete. Ana Flavia, a former volleyball player and manager of Stacy, left the hospital once the family arrived.

- I'm here since Tuesday. Now that her family arrived, I pass the stick. I'll see my family - she said, that it ships later this afternoon for Minas Gerais.

About the health status of the player, Ana Flávia showed some confidence.

She is responding very well to the tests. Doctors say it is too early to say anything, but that the worst is over. She is returning from sedation slowly, opens his eyes, gets a little sleep and then awake again. She is not talking. Only responds to stimuli. Doctors call for opening and closing his eyes, and it goes straight - she reported.

The former player also said that Stacy was sitting in the lap of one of the players of Volei Futuro, dividing a headset to hear music at the time of the accident.

- Maybe that's why she has stayed in worse condition. She may have hit his head on the trunk of the bus. Thus we learn. If they were all with the safety belt ...

The official bulletin of of the hospital should be out by late afternoon, as the doctors hoped the family's arrival to authorize the release of the player.

The doctors at the Syrian-Lebanese Hospital, responsible for the player Stacy Sykora, gave an interview on sunday morning to discuss the clinical profile of the athlete. According to Samira Apostles, a neurologist, and Manoel Jacobsen, neurosurgeon, the libero of Volleyball Future has shown an improvement over the average in recent days. Stacy arrived at the hospital on Tuesday, with a staff considered severe head injury.

However, it is not possible to say if the american, breathing without the help of machines, will return to play volleyball. According to Jacobsen, the tendency is that Stacy Sykora has not sequels, but there are no security features to ensure this.

- When you have a disease in an acute phase can not make predictions of this type yet. But there is no evidence of sequelaein the motor area and speech. It is expected to return to being a normal person, yes. But the person is not made only of movement and balance. He also thinks. And this most refined of the neurological assessment has not been made - he said.

Samira Apostles and Manoel Jacobsen avoid talking on how long the player remains in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The doctors should perform some more tests during the week to make sure that there was no injury to the respiratory part of Stacy. For these tests, it is necessary that the libero is in full consciousness and less agitated, factors that can influence the result.

We need that system to be controlled so that it resumes its natural sustenance, feast alone and requires less care. Only this way she leave the ICU. She is conscious and responded very well to the arrival of his mother and sister. This is very positive - Samira said.
