He is in a long term facility just south of Fort Worth and has not had much more than minimal response for quite awhile now. This is from talking and riding first hand with guys that rode with him.

lovin_the_wake 05-06-2008 6:41 AM
damn that really sucks I was hoping to hear some good news about him Every time I strap on my board I wonder how he's doing

radikal 05-06-2008 1:23 PM
i am french so its hard to understand. <BR> <BR>so this mean now he is awake and he talk a bit ???

zirb3l 05-06-2008 1:26 PM
maybe i wasnt around, but what happened?

bendow 05-06-2008 1:34 PM
Radikal, that means he's not talking that much if it all, but is awake I think. <BR> <BR>Nathan, Colby got some kind of brain injury wakeboarding and was in a coma for a long time.

roverjohn 05-06-2008 1:36 PM
No, it means that people who are talking are saying that he is only showing minimal response, if any, which I fear is not good news at all. Minimal response in the world of brain injuries is really not much but you never know because sometimes people just get better for seemingly no reason. Let's hope this is the case with Colby.

gene3x 05-06-2008 2:37 PM
I was told that he moans and responds to touch and words as though he can hear you but cannot talk or form any real communication.

innov8 05-06-2008 3:19 PM
Yes Gene, I just had his Physical therapists come into my shop about 5 mins ago and she said, he moans and trys to communicate, with facial expressions and such and is getting to a point where he is able to support most of his weight with just a little help. <BR>She said she works with him everyday on her own time and said with brian injuries, you just never know, sometimes they just all of a sudden snap out of it over night and sometimes they stay the same forever. <BR> Keep the Prayers coming for Colby and his family!!
