Doctors have reportedly reattached snowboarder Cole Ortega’s severed arm. The 14-year-old, who was run over by a dory boat in while surfing near Pacific City, Oregon, is still in the hospital.

An official with the High Cascade Snowboard Camp told KTVZ-TV in Bend that Ortega underwent surgery to reattach his arm and everything seemed to go well. “So far, it looks successful,” Michele Schnake told KTVZ. “They are watching for signs of infection.” He added that Ortega’s fellow snowboarders were praying for him.
