More updates!
Good news so far. He is stable and is through the hardest part of it all.
We are back in his room after his successful surgery on his ankle.
He broke his right fibula about 3" up from the ankle joint. They plated & screwed that together. He aso broke a chunk of his inside or outside ankle ball I believe. They made a special plate & screwed it all back together. The surgeons were very happy with the ankle & how it went back together.

His first surgery went successful as well on his rectum. He has a massive bruise on his rearend from smacking the wall. He remembers everything and never lost concisiousness during the crash. He is in a great deal of pain and his color is very yellow from the medication.
His tounge looks very gnarly. I guess I would have bit my tounge too!
His wife Mara just got here a couple hours ago and will be taking care of him. Good thing she is a RN!
She is not used to taking care of people that she cares about deeply so she had a bit of a time seeing him but things are going good now.

I just talked to Brian for the first time. He seems pretty good. We will see in a few days hows things come along.

It is definately going to be awhile as in months before he will be operating normally again.

New update after checking his left ankle just now his wife told the doctors about a possilble broken ankle on his left side. The just transfered him to a different bed and are now sending him back to Xray to check on his left leg & ankle. I got a good look at it and it is bruised horribly bad. Hopefully it is just a sprain.

Brian did mention that he couldn't believe how fast the wall came up & how hard he hit it. He also stated he isn't happy about the wall not being protected.

More updates as they come.

Awesome to hear the good (for the circumstances) news. Hope to see Brian make a full recovery fast, watching him tear it up with Jensen and all the other guys has always been an inspiration for me since I started racing.

[Court Jester]

He says thank you to everyone who has sent messages for him, Brian, his family, & myself appreciate the pouring out of help & support we have been receiving from everyone. It is great to know what an awesome racing commuity we have and how we care about each other.

It's probably too early to call or visit yet as he just got settled in his room.
I'm sure late tomorrow or Wed he might be accepting calls & visiting.
