Isaac Kolstad Assault

[PopBison]

Former Bison Linebacker Isaac Kolstad suffered a severe head injury early in the morning on 5/11/14. He is currently in Critical condition. He is young and strong, but the battle he has in front of him is enormous. We do not yet know the full extent of his injuries. He is very sick. He is married to Molly and has a 3 year old girl named Haidyn. Molly is also 8.5 months pregnant with another girl that will be born any day.

Isaac's brother Abraham, is currently a JR. at NDSU majoring in Mechanical Engineering.

Isaac's good friend and former NDSU middle linebacker Preston Evens is sitting next to me as I type this. Preston is a great family friend!

You can help Isaac in a couple of ways.

1. Prayers - Please pray for Isaac and all of those involved.

2. Make a donation to the Kolstad Family via the YouCaring site link below.

There is a CaringBridge site to track Isaac's progress. Please note, any donations made on the CaringBridge site do NOT go to Isaac and Molly.

Please help in anyway possible. Right now prayers are needed most, but long term they will have many needs.
Thank You
The Kolstad's

Sounds like he is going to have some on-going health risks.

This story is just so sad to read about. I would venture to say that his remaining life will be changed forever. He may never, for example, be able to work and support his family due to his neurologic related injuries. In a sense his "life" was taken away from him...but, he is still alive.

Part of me wishes the courts could punish the two jack asses who did this as severely as if they had commited homicide, because I think the lifelong negative effects that this family will have to endure deserve this degree of recognition from our legal system...but I know that won't happen.

Agreed. Court system sucks. Off topic they would rather lock up people long term for drug use that is a threat to themselves than violent criminals who are a threat to society.

Any evidence to back this up?
