Where is the good Dr. when you need him??? I need a translator for this medical terminology.

Either way, all the best ti Erik and his family.

What it basically means is that Erik will never fully recover. They have no idea how much he will recover. Worst case, a good number of cases never wake up... He is already past that. Some number after that live in a vegetative state, it appears he is past that. He would be really hard pressed to get back on a motorcycle.
I believe the prayers are working for him.
I'm very hopeful that he will get back on the racetrack.
The neurological treatment facility is really expensive.
I'm hopeful for that too.

I will hold out hope that this is not the case, LA12.

Godspeed to our fellow rider, I wish the best for his recovery and his family.
Although he's not out of the woods yet, there's hope...

This was an update I missed yesterday from a friend/family member. I've never met her:
(Update from October 31)

Just saw Erik Brown a couple days ago. As a Physical Therapist, I think he has great potential for improvement with the right rehab. He was able to follow commands like sticking out his tongue when asked, he was able to take his glasses off when he didn't want them anymore. When he obviously didn't want a soft mitt on his hand, when asked if he wanted it off, he shook his head yes. He was able to unlock the phone or iPad and attempt the passcode but he may have been trying to put his own passcode on Jackie's phone. He was able to scroll pictures on the iPad. He kept trying to click the icon to check messages. Exciting that he is showing ability to think about multiple steps processes but most exciting to me was when I got ready to leave, he grabbed my hand and brought it to his mouth and gave me a kiss. Then he waved goodbye! They are trying to wean him from the trach. It has been almost 3 weeks since his accident and he is making great progress! Please help get him to Shepherd Center Hospital in Atlanta!!!

Forward momentum!!!!!
(Update from his wife, Jackie November 2)

After 3 days of Erik Brown not knowing what these were, today he recognized and accurately pointed to 6 letters! Thank you God!

[Luckyadam12]

[SubSailor]

I made a donation via the direct link posted earlier on.

 

[That Guy]

while I do not know erik, and am sadly not in a position to financially donate right now, have you considered starting a crowd-funding page? Something like gofundme or indiegogo. I will be happy to blast it on FB and to the many motorcycle forums I am a member of. I will be posting your paypal address on some of them as well with your permission of course.

Hoping for a speedy recovery and while I am not a religious man, my thoughts and positive energy go out to him and especially his loved ones and all that are suffering along side him!

[Luckyadam12]

Thanks, Justin.

There is a fundraising account attached to the first post. Please feel free to use that and share as you will.

My PayPal, however, I would prefer only on this site have that as I am putting in a donation for this site only.

 

[That Guy]

Gotcha! Will do!

Edit: didnt see the link to fundraiser site. my bad.

[Luckyadam12]

Last chance, I will be posting the donation later tonight.
We currently have $255 from RC51forums

 

[Luckyadam12]

It's Erik and Jackie's Anniversary today!
He is still making forward progress little by little.

She has the funds, wanted to thank you all:
Here is the conversation:

Jackie,
I have $255 for you from the guys on RC51forums.com. I have been keeping the forum updated and they started sending money to my PayPal account. You can use this to assist with his medical bills, towards the facility, food, or just to take care of yourself and your girls and have fun. It is yours to do with as you need. I know it isn't much, but hopefully it will help you a little.
I was going to put it in the other fundraiser, but it wanted to charge me $20 to ensure 100% went to Erik. I didn't want to do that not knowing for sure where it was going. What is your email for your PayPal account and I will just transfer it straight to you.


Her response:

Hi. I just saw this. I can't believe how amazing this news is. Just as I am worried and prayed to God tonight about my next electric bill and then see this message an hour later. Its Gods work. Thank you for doing God's work for us.


You guys are awesome and have huge hearts!!!

 

[madbuyer]

Excellent news and glad it came in time.

For those of you who did not donate, its still not too late. It doesn't take much when so many give to come up with a nice sum of money for someone who actually needs it.

Gracias...

 

[extrapolator]

Nice to see the guy alert and awake. I hope he's a happy dude

To Mrs. Brown,
You may already be doing this but it is important to talk to your husband as much as possible (even if he is still in a coma) and fill his mind with positive thoughts and intentions in order for him to visualize the best outcome. Relaxing "healing" music is good too.
My son suffered a brain injury at a very young age which has created many challenges for him and my family. We have been able to overcome a lot of obstacles and you will to.
Life may be different now but it can also be good. All the best to you and your family, everything will be ok.
