Update
On Gregg Boyd --

Well...
Friday, April 25, 2008 -- it is day three... and Gregg is responding to some pain stimuli.

He has
suffered NO broken bones. 

He does
have a closed head injury that includes three contusions on his brain. The docs
have relieved a bit of pressure there.

He hit
the ground, not the pavement, just the ground beside the road, so hard that he
has some separation of the brain from the skull.

The docs
are looking to put a tracheotomy in his throat, and a feeding tube directly
into his belly, to begin feeding him. These procedures will allow the docs
to reduce his sedation, thus providing Gregg's body with the opportunity to
wake up on its own. 

There is
a chance that this will be a long process. The doctor said, a lot of hope and
patience will be called for on all of our parts. 

Gregg is
still in ICU, he will be for the next couple of days. He will only be moved
from ICU and "down one level" into a more general room once they have
his trak and feeding tubes in, and when his breathing is stabilized... even if he is still on the ventilator.
