Update from Karen Johnson

It is still unknown the details of how the accident happened but he was brought into County USC Medical Center at 9:14 AM Sunday by LA County Sheriffs helicopter. Gary's condition has improved from acute to chronic in ICU. He had a lot of internal bleeding which they got under control. He lost one kidney and while there was some damage to the other one, it is functioning OK. The Spleen had to be blocked off and will not be functional. Also there was some liver damage, but livers are good at repairing themselves. His CT scan showed no problems with his brain. All his extremities are moving OK but there might be a slight fracture to one of his vertebrae. He is still sedated and on a ventilator.
