Well...we are stoked to tell you that Brent and myself went to see Anthony last night at Loma Linda mediacal and the doc says he will live to recover. though he will be in ICU for several more days while they monitor his progress. The doctors told us that Anthony tore his kidney in half and they were unable to repair/save it so it was removed. He also tore his liver in half but they were able to save it.
.......yeah.....WTF?????... how do you do that???? He has no broken bones!
It was still very difficult for him to talk so all we could deduce is that he sent the jump and when he landed and began his pedal stroke, the chain came off or got stuck/jammed in the chain ring/guide.. this caused him to go OTB and he face/chest planted.
It is hard to comprehend how hard he must of hit the ground to cause your internals to split open.
AS many of you noted, Anthony is from England and has no family here in the US. His live in girlfriend has been with him so at least hes got some one there.
I did pass along your "well wishes" and that did seem to elicit a casual smile.
Thanks & peace!
