Hello everyone. This is Greg's wife Carly. We just got back from the hospital and Greg seems to be improving slowly but surely. I see there are many mixed stories, but the injuries are a brain hemorrage and a collapsed lung. He had emergency surgery to place a chest tube, and thankfully the doctors want to just wait out the head injury for now since he's so responsive. He's been kept under a lot of sedation because he's been very violent and resistant. Anyone who knows Greg knows that it's not like him at all, so you can imagine the state he's in. He's now opening his eyes, speaking very little, and knows who we all are. He's still very agitated, though. ICU is pretty strict about all visitors, but I'll try to keep you posted on his condition. For now we will be staying in Cleveland until I can bring my boy home. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. God heals, and we've already been watching Him move in this situation. God Bless. Good Night.

Carly, thanks for the update.
From the sounds of it, sounds like he will be fine pretty soon. These things take time, can't rush the healing process. Also, I am sure they told you but for those that don't know, the violence is normal with these injuries.
FMX can be freakin awsome and freakin ugly. Yesterday it revealed it's ugly face. Hang in there, he needs you.

Rick

Thanks for posting that Carly. Tell Greg to heal up well and Beth and I are have him in our hearts. Rick is right about the mood change and head injury. Just remember as time goes on- he'll be back to normal (was he ever normal though? More normal than wacker, so that will have to do) and buy him a Sheetz fountain soda. It cures almost everything!

Man that sucks really bad that Greg got hurt. I hate seeing the good guys take the hard falls. I'm glad he's recovering well. That'd be kinda scary though seeing him get hostile in the hospital, he's a big boy.
Man brain hemmorging sucks I had that back in '06, people think that's why I'm hella goofy, but those that knew me before know I've always been that way.
