    Unhappy Update on Gene Bazyl - see page 10

    Update on Gene's specific injuries and condition added to this post by Ralph.

    As some of you already know, Gene (ebazyl) was involved in a bad crash yesterday at the track in La Junta. He is in the hospital in pretty serious condition at the moment.

    We will post more details here once we find out from his family what their wishes are, but until then, we ask that you politely respect their privacy and not post up any details you may have heard.

    Please keep Gene in your thoughts and prayers.

    Thanks

    Update, 7/3 9:02PM:
    I just got off the phone with Josh, who echoed family consent to tell you what I'm posting here regarding the circumstances surrounding the crash, and his medical condition.

    On Sunday afternoon, Gene was involved in a crash with another rider at La Junta Raceway. The end result was that Gene T-boned the other rider hard enough to tear his own bike in two. Both riders were airlifted out of the track to a hospital in Pueblo with major injuries. The other rider died from his injuries last night, though I don't know the extent of what those injuries were.

    Gene is in stable but critical condition in the ICU right now. His injuries include swelling around his brain, two fractured vertebra, broken ribs, and a broken wrist. I am also told that both lungs were collapsed initially. He is on a respirator, in a medically induced coma. Right now his prognosis is not so good - at last check he was given a 50/50 chance of survival, and expectations for permanent brain injury if he pulls through. The hospital was hoping he would stabilize enough for air transport to a Denver trauma center for better care, however that doesn't appear to be possible so the hospital is bringing a team of neurologists from Denver to Pueblo within the next 12-24 hours.

    Right now, it's just a lot of wait-and-see. Gene was responding to voices he recognized, which is a good sign. The downside to that is it elevated his heart rate, increasing the blood pressure in his skull. As a result, anyone in the room with him at this point cannot talk, touch, or make any noise. Several people have been with him nearly constantly; I will also be going to see him tomorrow with some more folks. I do not want to post hospital information on here since I'm not 100% of it, however anyone wishing to go down can contact myself or Bob for more information. Obviously the visitation hours are going to be strictly controlled by the hospital.

    I'll try to keep this updated as I know more information. That's all for now.

    Bob,

    If Gene or his family need anything that I can provide, I am willing.

    In the meantime he is in my thoughts.

    Bob... I know that you are wanting to find out what the wishes of his family are, but please do let us know of any major developments.

    I'm in contact with someone who is on their way to go see Gene at the hospital today, and I realize that the situation isn't good at all.

    We all love Gene, and are of course wishing the very best for him.

    Our thoughts are with you, Gene!

    I'm heading down there tomorrow, what do you guys think about maybe getting together tonight and signing a get well card from everyone? Brecks is probably out since there is a Rockies game, but we could meet somewhere else perhaps.

    Re: Stopping the rumor mill: Update on Gene Bazyl

    I just talked with Big-J, who is at the hospital now, with Gene's parents and sister. (And others).

    Basically the current situation, is that Gene is in critical condition, and the staff is waiting to determine if he can be transported to Denver. Without going into detail about specific injuries, things are obviously very touchy.

    Anyhow, I hope nobody's toes feel stepped on by me providing this update. I just know a lot of you are concerned. Continue to wish him luck or pray, of that's your thing.
