- Hey.

Me and you,

we're going to state. Hey!

Okay, that's your friend Jerry.

Whoa!

Dad!

Let's see what's going on here.

When did you notice

the swelling?

This morning.

Close your eyes for me.

Now open.

Is this from football?

No, Travis has a great deal of

infection visible in the sinus area.

Infection, where

did that come from?

It's hard to tell.

I want to get Travis started

on medication right away.

Dr. Connelly wants me

to prep a surgical room.

What's happening?

Travis's infection is not

responding to medication.

His face is swelling and his

temperature has risen to 106.

- Oh, dear Lord!

- We need to get him into surgery quickly.

I'll have more answers when I get in

there and see what we're up against.

- Here he is. Here he is.

- Oh, Travis! Hi, baby!

You're gonna have to take that cross off.

Yes, ma'am.

Okay, I got it. I got it.

Hi, honey.

Mama's right here. Okay?

- Hey.

- Hmm.

I'll see you soon.

- I'm going to be fine, Mom.

- Now!

- Okay.

- I'll be fine.

All right, he'll be fine.

Travis, I need you to count

backwards for me from 100.

100, 99,

98, 97...

Go deep!

Go deeper!

Deeper!

Hello! Hello!

- Oh, Travis.

- Mom?

Travis. We're right here.

Mom, no, I can't see.

What...

Honey, listen, the

doctor explained to us

- that you...

- Dad!

- I'm here.

- Why can't I see?

Travis.

Explain what, Dad?

You're blind, son.

What do you mean I'm blind?

You lost your eyesight.

Okay.

Okay, for how long?

I don't understand.

There was too much infection.

I can't be blind!

No, Mom.

It's okay, baby.

It's gonna be okay.

Dad.

We'll get through this.

You see that?

You heard?

I'm gonna need you

to stay focused.

I'm focused.

Okay, you're focused.

I'm going to need to step up.

Team needs a leader.

Are you that guy?

Thank you for coming, really.

I'll make sure Travis knows that

each of every one of you were here.

Take care, okay?

He's getting better.

He's just not up

for visitors yet.

I'm sorry.

- Sorry.

- Come here.

I know the last thing you want to

do right now is play football.

Like it or not, we got a game.

I don't know why things like

this happen to good people.

I don't know.

I do know, Travis would

not want any of you

to use his misfortune

as an excuse

for not playing your best,

for not playing just

the way you would,

if he was out there with us.

That's what he expects from us

and that's all we

can do for him.

So we're going to dedicate

this game to Travis.

Bring it in.

- Travis on three.

- One, two, three.

Travis!

Baker is trying

to signal his receiver,

there is some confusion on the

line with another delay...

Come on, man!

He bumped into the guard.
