Updates on Dr Gary Parrett

Here is more updates about Gary's condition. The news clip reveals the horrors of the accident.



Further Updates
Taken from the latest journaling from his daughter Alisa, here is an excerpt which contains both positive and not-so-positive news.

We got the results of the MRI today, and they were mostly encouraging.  Although the doctors see that there is likely permanent damage to the brain (enough to cause some disability), they believe that with time and proper rehabilitation, he could be on his way to a full recovery.  Right now, it's sort of a waiting game--because my dad still hasn't woken up, there's some concern as to how long he will remain unconscious and how that will play out on his brain's condition when he does wake up.  He also has to wake up quickly for the sake of the rest of his body, which can't be fully treated until he is conscious.
