A couple of hours after the accident, Matt and Dan went back to the Jinja Public Hospital to check on Trevor. Trevor had been admitted and his mother, Sarah, and close family friend, Nathan, were visiting. Matt and Dan talked to Sarah and Nathan and found out that the family is Christian and Nathan is the family’s pastor.
They told Matt and Dan that Trevor had woken up for a little while, but could not hear or speak. But, the doctor said he was hopeful that Trevor would make a full recovery.
Although his cuts have been treated, Trevor’s forehead is still badly swollen.
After once again praying for Trevor, Matt and Dan leave.

Matt’s team left the night of the accident to travel to Tanzania, so the following day, Dan and Austin go back to the hospital to visit Trevor. They are greeted by Sarah and Joshua, Trevor’s father. They told Austin and Dan that Trevor had woken up for a few minutes and had been able to eat a small amount of food and drink a little bit of juice. They told them that Trevor was able to hear and talk!
Trevor’s parents had taken him to another hospital in order to get his head checked, possibly by a CT scan, because the doctor was worried about possible internal injuries to his head.
The cut on Trevor’s forehead had been stitched and the swelling had also gone down.
Before leaving, Austin and Dan pray over Trevor once again and promise that he’ll continue to be in their prayers.

Because both Matt and Austin are now traveling to Tanzania, Dan goes to the hospital alone. As he walked through the courtyard of the hospital, he spots Joshua, Sarah and Trevor laying on a mat in the grass.
Trevor is doing a lot better and is expected to be released in only a couple of days. He’d been able to walk outside all by himself, but was still in a lot of pain. And although he’s been able to eat and drink, the doctors think there may be something wrong with his jaw since he’s only able to open it a little.
Joshua said that the man he had seen up the street on the day of the accident was the driver of the motorcycle. The crowd had found Trevor dead, so they’d begun beating the driver so he had run away. The man was later arrested and caned by the police for killing Trevor.
When the police started asking where Trevor’s body was, the crowd told them they didn’t know because some Mzungus (white people) had taken him away in a car. They found Trevor at the hospital.
Alive.
Dan found out that Trevor’s sister, Precious, had been the only one the locals had decided to take to the hospital since Trevor was dead.
