Bless you all and many thanks. I am unable to go but my wife is there. I spoke to an ER doctor here in Texas and he told me that Paul just making it through the first 24 was a good sign. He had an aortic bleed, multiple abdominal bleeds, crushed vertebrae that they haven't been able to tend to just yet because of the frontal wounds, multiple fractures and we are unsure of his eyes or vision yet. His brain was not affected to my knowledge. His helmet didn't crack. He has been in a medically induced coma since the start and has many more surgeries to endure.
Hopefully he will recover, and this will not end his career in the Army. Again folks, many thanks!

I like to tell you all a little story about this boys' drive. In March of 2013 before he left for the Army, he took a bike trip. He rode from Fort Worth to San Diego to Seattle. He did this not with a group and not following a peloton. He crossed the Great Divide SOLO, in March, on a bicycle. He completed the TDF equivalent 3000 mile trip in 35 days, again, not having the help of a pacing group, maintenance back-up or any other convenience afforded the people on the tour. He slept in drainage ditches, various parks and the occasional home of good Samaritans along the way. The bike is his world. He has lived life his way. I worry about his future...
