Hope your son makes the right decision for him. My son went through the same process after an injury. He had surgery and the pain wasn't worth the effort and he didn't feel he would ever be the same. As a parent, I understand the reluctance to let him make the decision, but ultimately I had to come to grips with that too. The worst is he went to college because that's what he thought his parents wanted and turned down the 4th and 10th round draft opportunities, but that's life, unfortunately. He has moved on, graduated and enjoyed the college experience and doing well but I'm not sure I ever will. Then again, it's not about me.
