anyone have any word on how he is doing?

**twoboysdad** · March 19th, 2011

8 what? Riders? Bones? Concussions?

I went Friday and he was on the gas in 250's. He caught Bogle from 6 or 8 (est.) seconds back. Really impressive.

Section/Jump number 8.. that downhill triple. I think that's the number!! I did not hear the extent of his injuries. There was quite a long medical hold. Hope all is not so bad, and he will be ok. He was certainly on the gas.

Brad is in Harris Trauma ICU after over 8 hour surgery for broken back and many crushed vertabraes used crushed bones to fuse a good portion of his spine together installed a device inbetween his vertabraes where a disk would be like a screw jack where they could force apart and create space for nerves. Then placed long rods on either side if his spine and screws through one rod to the other for stability. They have kept him out a good portion of the time but at this time they have determined that he does have a little sensation feelings in his legs but has lost all motorskills to his legs but they hope with time maybe he will regain his motorskills. He needs all the prayers he can get this is going to be a really long haul to recovery and how much recovery he can regain is still up in the air. The family really needs all their racing family to rally around them at this time
