Larry Update

My Mom came to stay with Larry Wednesday night, and I came back to Austin. I talked to her today and Larry is doing well. He's off the morphine drip and switching to pain pills. He was able to sit on the edge of the bed briefly. Still has a chest tube draining blood off. So, we have no thoughts on when he will be able to go home.

I missed two fractures in my recount of injuries yesterday - sternum and elbow. Although today Mom said they might have mistaken an old surgery on his elbow for a new injury. So, hopefully nothing is wrong with the elbow.

Before I left Dallas yesterday we got the police report. A pick-up truck turned in front of him on a two lane road. The driver was cited for failure to yield. So, his insurance should cover everything. This is very good news since Larry only has liability on the bike.

Please keep praying for us as I believe some tough times are ahead. Larry is not one to sit still and this recovery is going to be hard on him...
