Also, initial post has been updated with the second link for donations.  In addition, if anyone is in the Manhattan area, Johnny Kaw's is having a fundraiser for them tomorrow.  If you're around, do the whole town of Great Bend a favor and buy a few drinks for Cody and Mike.

They are going to be there!?   :horrorsurprise:

I suppose that I could comment on that, given that it's already made the rounds on social media in the Great Bend area.  The injury to the spinal cord was initially incorrectly reported.  The injury, while still very serious, was much less severe than originally reported, and Mike is doing very well right now and is stable.  Like I said earlier, he's still looking at a long road to recovery, but his long-term prognosis is very good.

that's great news. go cats.

Update for those who are interested.

Mike is recovering from his spinal fusion surgery and is out of ICU. He may return to a hospital in Kansas as soon as next week. As I said earlier the Dale Earnhardt crap was incorrect.

Cody has yet to wake up from his coma, but vitals and everything else looks good. It's just a matter of time with him. Doctors and the family are optimistic for him.

T's and P's are appreciated, as are the donations. Can't thank you guys enough.  :lynchmob:

If anyone could get nailed by a drunk driver while riding on the back of a bike, while they themselves are drunk, die during surgery, only to live and tweet about it, it would be a Kansas State Football Fan.

 :excited: was for good news that I didn't feel comfortable sharing at the time. I usually receive updates as they happen but I wait until they've been posted by a family member on a twitter or facebook account before relaying here.   Anyway,

Mike's recovery is just fantastic, bordering on ridiculous/miraculous.  Very good chance he'll be out of the valley fairly soon and it's pretty overwhelming

Cody opened his eyes today for a little while today.  Still hasn't really woken up but all vitals are all good, ICP and swelling are way down (though some swelling remains) and I'm told that he looks much better. 

Good news for both, everyone's still optimistic about Cody, and Mike is superman.

were they able to get any response to questions when he opened his eyes?

No, but some more good news on both of them.

Cody has been opening his eyes a bit.  Still hasn't really come out of the coma, but he has been responding to pain now (doctors pinch him, he brushes their hands away) and he appeared to be tracking his sister's hand for a few moments while his eyes are open.  Swelling is down considerably and most of the meds have been reduced.  They're hoping to wean him off the ventilator in the coming days. 

Mike is a goddamn miracle.  He's in Wichita for a week or so or rehab before heading back to Great Bend.  It's pretty remarkable.  Doctors down there are just amazed at his recovery.  Injury typically has a 95% kill rate and most of the remainder are left paralyzed and he's walking around and flew home on a commercial flight.  It's pretty fantastic.
