Good morning all
I was up in Page yesterday hiking the slot canyons with my family, so I wasn't able to speak with Justins mom. (BTW- the slots are AMAZING!)
But I made it back lastnight to go to the track for practice.
Word is the menengitis test was negative, but they still don't know what's going on. So it's very frustrating.
Justin himslef is starting to talk a bit more. They are trying to get him to talk to figure out how badly the blow to his head affected him. I guess he talked for about 10 minutes.
I was going to go today to the hospital, but it looks like the stuff from Intense is coming in tomorrow. So I might wait. Also the track owners are going down today, so I don't want to overwhelm the family.
Anyway, keep the prayers coming. I'll update you as I know more.

I am glad to hear he is talking. On my bike ride the other night I was thinking about him and wishing him well.

As of last Friday Justin was doing much better.
I need to call his Mom for an update.
We went to visit Justin on Friday and take him his pressies from Intense.
they sent him the most AWESOME full face THE helmet. It's the F-18 and it's sooo cool!!!
They also sent him some other choice swag.
Justin was sooo happy to see us, and stoked for his new helmet.
He's such a cool kid!
He also showed us his top to bottom scar down his chest. They opened him up like my dad fileting a fish!
I'll call his mom and get a better update and let ya'll know.
Thanks for caring! As said, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!

He definitely sounds like a little fighter, hopefully his progress will continue and he will get stronger and stronger each day.
Cheers for update Denise.

Sigh.... ANOTHER bad update! UGH! This poor kid can't catch a break.
I heard from his mom today. I guess an abscess (sp?) formed somewhere in his chest around the wound site, so they decided to go in and drain it. In the process they punctured his left lung!!
So apparently his release from the hospital has been delayed. I really feel for him. But he's keeping his head up and keeps pushing on.
He WILL get better. If only these set backs will ease up! OY
