Somewhere on the Tortuga 500 Trail 2011

Martin’s gonna break the rules and visit the Mule Man this evening (Monday March 21) so he can tell’em:

All the Freddies are getting ahead so you better get it together.

Below Status Report Posted on CaringBridge by Doug Carpenter:

Mike is resting comfortably..his doctor met with the family this evening and has downgraded his condition to serious but stable.. C’mon..like Diane said “Mike is anything but stable”… Dougie [sneaked] me in to see him and besides the fact he looks like the Michelin Man on steroids he looks remarkably well..he is still on the ventilator but is now breathing partly on his own..he had another battery of tests today CT etc all of which looked good…he still has the pump in his abdomen and it has been working very well to reduce his swelling from all the fluids…and they finally gave him a bath..actually he had hydro therapy on his burns which is critical to reduce the risk of infection and start the healing process…our Mule has a long way to go yet..but he is moving forward with the gusto were all too familiar with…keep your thoughts and prayers coming..
Diane, the girls, Dougie, the Jensen’s, and the PRP team send their thanks and love..

BTW: It wasn’t any easier today . . .  it’s the reality impacting;  it’s like a sine-wave.

The Bix would understand sine-wave shit.
He’d say: You’re weak! (momentarily).
