Greg Brooks Recovery 10/3

TLDR: Does anyone know of organized fund raising going on for Greg and his family? Preferably associated with the family or a church organization they are affiliated with. (Want to make sure it’s going to the family not someone grifting)

Kelly dropping a nugget yesterday that Greg “responded to commands” and “gave a thumbs up” and last week saying he “stood up”.

3 weeks post op and he’s barely responsive with severely inhibited motor function, I’m not trying to be a pessimist but reality is reality.

That tumor had to have been on the area of the brain that controls motor function, which is likely why he had symptoms of vertigo. There is a high risk of permanent loss of motor function from operating on that area of the brain, and the only time a Dr. will do it is if non action would be terminal.

CBK isn’t going to say it publicly, football is out of the question. This is a matter of whether he will be able to live a semi-normal life or need assistance the rest of his life.

I had a family member go through a nearly identical situation in his late 30’s and the rapid decline after surgery is rough to watch. There is a long road ahead and drastic life adjustments that need to made just to live as normal as possible.

Greg’s situation hits on a personal level and I know first hand the help he and his family will need.
