Sharing images of Waylon receiving care, he noted, “He was a tough little boy and held up better than most grown men.” However, he acknowledged the emotional toll, stating, “I don’t care how tough you are, there’s nothing that will crush you faster than seeing your kids hurt or sick.” He also expressed gratitude towards the emergency medical team and hospital staff who assisted Waylon.
