The condition of a BMX star from South Bend continues to improve after an
accident last week.
Brett
Banasiewicz suffered a major
head injury during a stunt at a Virginia Beach BMX event. The 17-year-old South Bend Washington
student was trying to pull off a 720 when his tire got stuck and he wiped out,
falling on his head.
In an
update email to friends on Monday, Brett's mother, Lisa Banasiewicz, said
doctors are lowering his sedation level and expect to have him completely off
sedation by Tuesday. Lisa Banasiewicz says the trauma team says Brett's scans
and movements are good and strong. She says it still looks like Brett will be
in Virginia
for 2-3 weeks.
In her email, she also took time to thank everyone for their
prayers, love and support. "The road is going to be long and bumpy, with every
journey its ups and downs, but I know with My Faith, My Family and My Community
that Brett will recover 100%," said Banasiewicz.
